今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 tug-of-war.
tug-of-war 指的是拔河游戲,常用來指雙方的爭奪戰(zhàn)。 The tug-of-war between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration for further information and material pertaining to the Russia probe is expected to continue. 國會民主黨人與特朗普政府之間還會為了有關(guān)俄羅斯調(diào)查的進一步信息和材料進行更多的拉鋸戰(zhàn)。
Western diplomats say Macedonia, like the Balkans as a whole, has become part of the tug-of-war between Russia and NATO. 西方外交官說,馬其頓就像整個巴爾干半島一樣,已經(jīng)成為俄羅斯和北約之間互相爭奪的一部分。
