旋元祐Time时代杂志核心短语 动词短语03:break ranks


break ranks

分道扬镳
士兵列队时,横排称为rank,直排称为file。所以rank and file常用来代表「士兵行列」(不包括军官),也可以用来 指一个组织(尤其是工会)中的「基层人员」。复数的ranks 也可用来表示「士兵行列」。break ranks原意是一批士兵分 散开来,弓|申为「分道扬镳」。若要表示「和谁」分道扬镳, 则在break ranks后面加上with。

When [Dr. Norbert Vollertsen] came across the body of a soldier—lying in the middle of a highway north of Pyongyang—who had died of torture, he broke ranks with the international aid community and spoke out publicly about repression and human rights abuse.

〔人道援助北韩的弗勒森大夫〕见到一名士兵的尸体——就躺在 平壤北方的公路上——是受虐而死的,他便和国际援助界分道扬 镳,公开发言谴责北韩的高压统治和违反人权。
