外電報道如下: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……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,對首都的新聞報道進(jìn)行壓制。)
