词组 | terminate |
释义 | terminate Terminate, a long word, has been criticized now and again as an overused substitute for end, a short one. Nevertheless, writers seem to find terminate a useful word. When both words are possible in a particular context, terminate is more likely to be used if the ending described has an official or a legal nature: • If the insured wishes to terminate his insurance coverage, he may surrender his policy —Neida W. Roueche, Business Mathematics, 1969 • ... the Congressional vote to terminate action in Cambodia —Barbara W. Tuchman, N.Y. Times Book Rev., 11 Nov. 1979 • The anthropology department... voted to terminate his candidacy for the Ph.D. —Richard Bernstein, N.Y. Times Book Rev., 30 Oct. 1983 |
