| 释义 | 〔Benton〕American legislator. A U.S. senator (1821-1851) and representative (1853-1855) from Missouri, he staunchly opposed the use of paper currency.本顿，托马斯·哈特：(1782-1858) 美国国会议员。来自密苏里的美国参议员（1821-1851年）和众议员（1853-1855年），坚决反对使用纸币〔object〕The general public objects to the use of drugs.大众反对使用毒品。〔Asian〕The termAsian is now preferred for persons of South and East Asian ancestry (Indians, Southeast Asians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Indonesians, Filipinos, and others) in place of the term Oriental, an older usage that denotes some of these groups.Oriental has been objected to on two grounds: because it suggests racial, rather than cultural identity,and because it identifies the place of origin in terms of its location relative to the West (i.e., "from the East"), rather than in absolute terms.这个名称亚洲 现在用来称呼南亚和东亚人的后裔（包括印度人，东南亚人，中国人，朝鲜人，日本人，印尼人，菲律宾人和其他人），而不用 oriental， 这是一个老的用法，用来指这些亚洲人中的一些人。反对使用oriental 这个词有两个理由： 因为它暗示着种族的而非文化的特征，还因为它把人与相对于西方（如“来自东方”）的出生地混为一谈，而不以很清楚的名称指称。〔antinuclear〕Opposing the production or use of nuclear power or nuclear weaponry; anti-nuke.反核的：反对使用或生产核能及核武器的；反核子武器的〔responsible〕In recent years,many people have objected to the use of the phraseclaim responsibility with reference to the authors of terrorist acts, as inA small separatist group claimed responsibility for the explosion, in which 30 passengers were killed. It is true that the phrase is not entirely felicitous,in as much as it does not convey the speaker's conviction that the action is deplorable.But alternatives such asadmit or take the blame cannot be recommended either, since they would imply misleadingly that the instigators had themselves acknowledged that the action was wrongful.近年来，许多人反对使用与恐怖主义活动制造者相关的词组claim responsibility ， 如一小撮分离主义者声称对那次致使30位旅客丧生的爆炸负责 。 这个词组确实是不得体的，因为它没有表达说话者对悲惨行为的谴责。但也不能推荐如admit 和 take the blame 等替代词， 因为它们可能使人误导以为煽动者自己也承认行动是错误的 |
