今天我们要学的词是 inure.
inure 的意思是让人被迫习惯。 Experts say Japan’s high technology level can instill a false sense of security in a country inured to danger by the constant threat of earthquakes, tsunami and volcanos. 专家认为,日本对地震、海啸和火山威胁带来的危险习以为常,其高科技水平可能会给人带来一种假想的安全感。
With few exceptions, TV may have done more to inure us to war pain than to desensitize us. 除了少数例外,电视可能更有效地让我们习惯于战争带来的痛苦,而不是让我们变得麻木。
