[ 2004-08-25 08:38 ]
| 盡管奧運(yùn)賽場上觀眾寥寥無幾，但中國女子手球隊(duì)的姑娘們?cè)缫蚜?xí)慣了這樣的場面。在8月23日結(jié)束的小組賽中，中國隊(duì)以28以23戰(zhàn)勝巴西隊(duì)，兩勝兩負(fù)排名小組第三，從而取得了參加四分之一決賽的資格，晉級(jí)八強(qiáng)。外電報(bào)道如下：China
advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women's Handball competition after
beating Brazil 28-23 in their Group A clash today. …They（Brazil）were
ignited by Zhai Chao (CHN), the best player in the world last year, who
scored four goals in a row to put China ahead. Following her example, the
other Chinese players clamped down on the Brazilians and went on a goal
frenzy of their own. Clamp down常和on連用，表示“對(duì)……施加壓力；取締”，例如：The police clamped down on
illegal stock exchange activities in the
streets.（警察取締了街道上的非法證券交易。）名詞clamp-down表示“（為防止和壓制某事而采取的）嚴(yán)厲政策”。 |
