【講解】
文中的child labour就是“童工”的意思,其中l(wèi)abour用作名詞,意為“工人;勞工”,如:He is accused of employing child labor.(他被指控雇傭童工。);labour也可以作動(dòng)詞,意為“勞動(dòng);致力于”,如:We must labour for a better future.(我們應(yīng)為更加美好的未來(lái)而努力。)
第一段中的suspected是形容詞,意為“可疑的;嫌疑的”,如:A policeman is dogging a suspected thief.(警察正在追蹤一個(gè)有嫌疑的小偷。)
