[sa]【学3个词 394-396】394 spin 395 high-rolling 396 bargain

394 spin

今天我们要学的词是spin。Spin, 是旋转。"The skater is practicing her jumps and spins," 不过spin 这个词要是用到政治上，那就有别的意思了。比如："'Spin wars' are expected for Obama and Clinton," 有人说，奥巴马和希拉里.克林顿的竞争如此激烈，两个阵营即将展开一场广泛的宣传战来压倒对方。Spin在这里含有耍政治手腕的意思。"Politicians and pundits are always trying to put a spin on issues." 不过也不是所有的事情都可以spin。所以你也可以说："You can't spin that."

396 bargain

今天我们要学的词是bargain。Bargain, 是谈判，讨价还价的意思。"OK, It's a bargain," 意思是“好，就这么说定了。” "Union representatives bargain with employers for better rates of pay every year," 工会代表每年都要就涨工资的问题跟资方进行谈判。

美国好莱坞剧作家协会历时三个月的罢工看来很快就可能结束。剧作家协会已经把新合同交给协会成员表决。协会负责人说，"This is the best deal the guild has bargained in 30 years," 意思是，这是剧作家协会三十年来谈判所得到的最好的合同。好的，今天我们学习的词是bargain...
