📖 基本释义

[verb] force (someone) to leave a place, especially a country
[动词] 强迫(某人)离开某个地方,尤其是某个国家


💡 深入解读

Expel 是一个与小站(微信公众号:田间小站)之前推送过的excel较为形似的单词。该词由前缀 ex- (出)+ 词根 pel (驱动;推)构成,14世纪末由拉丁语expellere(驱逐、赶走)进入英语后,即用来表示“驱逐、逐出”,主要指通过官方行动来强迫某人离开某个地方,尤指将某人从某个国家驱逐出境,

比如:

The interim government has expelled all foreign diplomats.过渡政府驱逐了所有外交官。

Students can be expelled at the discretion of the principal.从这个概念出发,到了17世纪40年代后, expel 开始发展出常用含义指“开除、把……除名”,主要指剥夺某人在学校或其他组织中的成员资格或参与权,比如:校长有权开除学生。

The real culprit was expelled from school for bad behaviour at the age of 16.真正的罪犯16岁时因为行为不端被学校开除了。

The weary traveller took a deep breath, then expelled the air in short blasts.此外, expel 还可以用作专业术语表示“排出、喷出”,主要指将气体、液体等从容器或身体器官中强制排出或喷出,比如:那个疲惫不堪的旅行者深吸一口气,然后一下子把空气呼出来。


📚 名著用例

Fear jabbed at his insides like needles as he wondered what was going to happen to him if he was expelled . 他一想到如果他被开除他会怎么办,恐惧就像无数根尖针一样刺着他的心。
