今天我们要学的词是 assault.
assault 的意思是攻击，突击。 A jury in New York City found former Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexual assault and rape but cleared the disgraced movie executive of charges that carried a possible life sentences. 纽约市的一个陪审团裁定，前好莱坞电影制片人韦恩斯坦犯有性侵罪和强奸罪，但免除了可能让这位自取其辱的影坛高管受到终身监禁的其他罪名。
Turkey and Russia exchanged warnings recently after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to carry out an operation in Syria to end the regime’s brutal air assault on the last rebel stronghold. 土耳其和俄罗斯最近互放厥词，之前土耳其总统埃尔多安威胁要在叙利亚展开一场行动，结束叙政权对最后一个反叛武装据点的惨无人道的空袭。
