| 释义 |
control ， get under ～： keep under ～— 209
这两个短语动词并非同义： get under control 作“刹住”讲，而 keep under control 则是“控制住”的意思，多少含有“忽使扩大”的意思。
例如：
The fire-brigade arrived within minutes of the alarm andquickly got the conflagration under control. 消防队在发出警报后几分钟内就赶到，很快就把火势刹住了。
The threatened epidemic of smallpox was kept under controlby the authorities'vigorous action. 具有威胁性的天花流行病已被当局有力的措施控制住了。
