| 词组 | expel |
| 释义 | expel 1. When expel is used with a preposition, the choice is almost always from: • ... had been expelled from his seat in the Senate for plotting with the British —Richard B. Morris, N. Y. Times Book Rev., 25 July 1954 • ... if powerful blowers could be set up to expel the fumes away from the area —Bertrand de Jouvenel, Center Mag., September 1969 An interesting twist on this use of expel may be seen in the following example, which is, however, not typical: • ... the Chilean government expelled an American expatriate named Michael Townley into United States custody —Thomas Hauser, IV. Y. Times Book Rev., 27 July 1980 2. Although some language commentators warn their readers not to misspell expel as expell, the warning seems unnecessary: judging from the Merriam-Webster files, expell hardly ever occurs, at least in edited prose. |
