今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 tyranny.
tyranny 的意思是專(zhuān)制統(tǒng)治,暴政。In the heated gun-ownership debate, some people don't realize that the 2nd Amendment isn't about sport shooting or even self-defense, it was designed to prevent government tyranny. 在有關(guān)擁槍問(wèn)題的激烈辯論中,有些人沒(méi)有意識(shí)到美國(guó)第二修正案不是為了保護(hù)狩獵甚至自衛(wèi)的權(quán)利,而是為了防止政府的暴政。
President Trump's national security adviser John Bolton describes the Venezuelan left-wing government of Nicolas Maduro as part of "the troika of tyranny" in the Americas, alongside Cuba and Nicaragua. 特朗普總統(tǒng)的國(guó)家安全顧問(wèn)博爾頓將委內(nèi)瑞拉的馬杜羅左翼政權(quán)形容為美洲與古巴和尼加拉瓜“并駕齊驅(qū)的三個(gè)暴政”之一。
