每日一词【394】spin:旋转,耍政治手腕(在线收听

今天我们要学的词是spin。 Spin, 是旋转。"The skater is practicing her jumps and spins," 不过spin 这个词要是用到政治上,那就有别的意思了。比如:"'Spin wars' are expected for Obama and Clinton," 有人说,奥巴马和希拉里.克林顿的竞争如此激烈,两个阵营即将展开一场广泛的宣传战来压倒对方。Spin在这里含有耍政治手腕的意思。"Politicians and pundits are always trying to put a spin on issues." 不过也不是所有的事情都可以spin。所以你也可以说:"You can't spin that." "Stop spinning, you are making me dizzy."
