throw up
匆匆建造,拼凑
讲解:
throw up有很多种解释,一般多用来表示“吐出来”,例如:I threw up in the car because of motion sickness.(我因为晕车而在车上吐了。)throw up还有另一个特别的解释是“匆匆建造”,带有 “抢时间、草率、凑合”等意思。
例句:
In response to the now annual ban,Protestant rioters threw up barricades,attacked Catholic homes and businesses, and clashed with police on successive nights across the province,in violence so bad that the British army was called out to the streets of Belfast for the first time in almost two years.(出自:TIME,Jul. 17,2000,p. 12)
为了反制这道现在年年都有的禁令,基督教暴动份子匆匆建造路障、攻击天主教徒住家与公司行号,并一连几个晚上在全省各地和警察发生冲突,所造成的暴力事件十分严重,使英军在近两年来首度被派到贝尔法斯特的街头。
