今天我們要學(xué)的詞是spin。 Spin, 是旋轉(zhuǎn)。"The skater is practicing her jumps and spins," 不過spin 這個詞要是用到政治上,那就有別的意思了。比如:"'Spin wars' are expected for Obama and Clinton," 有人說,奧巴馬和希拉里.克林頓的競爭如此激烈,兩個陣營即將展開一場廣泛的宣傳戰(zhàn)來壓倒對方。Spin在這里含有耍政治手腕的意思。"Politicians and pundits are always trying to put a spin on issues." 不過也不是所有的事情都可以spin。所以你也可以說:"You can't spin that." "Stop spinning, you are making me dizzy."
