今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 clarion.

Clarion 是指中世紀(jì)時(shí)期的一種銅號，因在戰(zhàn)場上使用而引申為號角的意思。 Clarion常與call連用，意思是號召： Nobel laureates and experts, in a clarion call on Sunday, urged governments to promote active aging to ease the burden on social security systems. 諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)得主和專家們星期日發(fā)出號召，呼吁政府推動(dòng)積極老齡化，以減輕社會(huì)保障體系的負(fù)擔(dān)。

A clarion call by China's legislature to implement a property tax scared investors into dumping real estate developers' stocks, even if the legal basis for the tax is at least five years away. 中國立法機(jī)構(gòu)發(fā)聲要落實(shí)財(cái)產(chǎn)稅后，即使稅法至少需要五年確立法律基礎(chǔ)，投資者們?nèi)猿鲇趽?dān)心而拋售房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商的股票。
