<< review queue entry 72055 >> seize 偏中性，或者说有歧义 It is a form of praise and admiration towards the King by Shakespeare as those who immorally seize power will ultimately possess a destroyed fate. ----------------------------------------- Editor: What is the point of your quotation? Is it meant to show that "immorally seize" is an idiomatic expression? If so, you chose a poor example. The quotation comes from an essay on the Bartleby website. It appears to have been written by a teenage student of English literature whose command of academic-style written English is not yet well developed. https://www.bartleby.com/essay/Abuse-Of-Power-In-Macbeth-FA3WAKULYQ6 * * * "possess a destroyed fate" is an unidiomatic expression, for example. What the writer means is "suffer a tragic fate". "Macbeth is a form of praise ... towards the King by Shakespeare" is another phrase that would make a native-speaking reader wince. The writer's English teacher might suggest rewording it as follows: "In 'Macbeth,' Shakespeare pays tribute to the King, presenting him as a figure worthy of admiration and respect." * * * Ex. - 竊取民眾個人資料 - 有些人是在利益的驱使下为了窃取一些机密或者刻意制造一些麻烦， - 以避免竊取原住民與其他文化傳統的智慧財產。 - 進入釣魚網站或藉以植入木馬程式，竊取個人通訊錄、即時通訊軟體帳號與密碼， - 企圖「竊取」美商必治妥公司抗癌藥物「汰癌勝」(TAXOL)的技術機密。 - 卡帶、CD盜版最猖獗的2001年，確實狠狠地「竊取」了正版音樂48%的市值， - 黃鼠狼不但竊取食物，由於牠們肛門的腺體會排放臭氣，往往將帳棚噴得「臭氣沖天」。 "immorally seize" is not a phrase that would sound natural in translating these phrases. |
