斯里蘭卡外長(zhǎng)卡迪爾加馬爾8月12日深夜在其位于科倫坡的住宅內(nèi)遭暗殺身亡。15日下午斯里蘭卡為卡迪爾加馬爾舉行國(guó)葬,斯總理拉賈帕克薩在講話中呼吁國(guó)民擱置分歧和國(guó)際社會(huì)共同努力,鏟除恐怖主義。
外電報(bào)道如下:Sri
Lankans cremated their assassinated foreign minister Monday as the
government urged the international community to clamp down on overseas
supporters of Tamil rebels amid fears the killing could scuttle a
three-year-old cease-fire.
句中的clamp down
on表示"施壓于;壓制;限制;對(duì)……進(jìn)行取締"的意思。例如:The government is clamping down on teenage
drinking.(政府正在禁止青少年飲酒。)Following the military coup, there has been a
clampdown on press reporting in the
capital.(軍事政變以后,對(duì)首都的新聞報(bào)道進(jìn)行壓制。)
