今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 poach.

poach 的原意是偷獵。 South Africa, which has the largest population of rhinos in the world, has been the country hit hardest by poaching. 世界上犀牛最多的國(guó)家南非是發(fā)生偷獵行為最嚴(yán)重的國(guó)家。

poach 引申出來(lái)是指用不當(dāng)手段盜走、挖走。China and Taiwan have tried to poach each other's allies over the years with generous aid packages, though Taiwan struggles to compete with an increasingly powerful China. 中國(guó)和中國(guó)臺(tái)灣地區(qū)多年來(lái)一直試圖通過(guò)給予慷慨的援助來(lái)挖走對(duì)方的盟友，不過(guò)臺(tái)灣很難與日益強(qiáng)大的中國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。
