内容正文:
Japan started releasing nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday.
“排放”这里用的是release
release词根词缀:re-回+-leas- = re+ -lax- 松弛、放松
release意思有很多,都是围绕“释放、放开”的,比如“解脱”、“发泄”、“解雇”…
He refused to release her arm.他不肯放开她的胳膊。
I think her death was a merciful release.我认为她的死是一种幸运的解脱。
“排放”除了用release还可以用:
①discharge,尤指排放气体、液体。
②emission,排放的污染物类型主要指气体,也常用于指噪音、光、细颗粒物等。
其复数形式emissions,可以用于表示“污染物排放(量)”,比如“二氧化碳排放”就是CO2 emissions,常说的“减排”即emissions reduction。
③因为这里的排放实际就是将核污水倾倒入海,所以也可以用pour。
日本渔业(fishing communities)哀鸿遍野,纷纷抗议,大家认为这不仅仅会对本国居民生活产生负面影响,也会对国内外环境造成严重影响。
