在美國,警察過去常常對無權(quán)無勢的普通人使用刑訊逼供。人們遂借(the)third degree喻指(警察的)疲勞詢問;逼供;拷問,同時還把“逮捕”和“入獄”分別婉稱為the first degree(第一級)和the second degree(第二級)。

【例句】
They gave him the third degree to find out who his contacts were.
他們對他逼供,想找出他的同謀。

My grandmother always gives my new girlfriend6 the third degree.
我奶奶總是對我的新女友一番盤問。
