今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 dampen.
dampen 的意思是潑冷水、減弱。 A sharp escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions will likely dampen commodity prices and keep capital investments in a tight holding pattern. 美中貿(mào)易緊張局勢(shì)急劇升級(jí)可能會(huì)抑制大宗商品價(jià)格,使得資本投資處于緊縮狀態(tài)。
In Thailand and Malaysia, debt has ballooned due to booms in the auto and housing markets, and the growing repayment burden has dampened consumer sentiment. 在泰國(guó)和馬來(lái)西亞,由于汽車(chē)和住房市場(chǎng)的繁榮導(dǎo)致個(gè)人債務(wù)激增,不斷增加的還款負(fù)擔(dān)抑制了消費(fèi)者信心。
