标题[请益] CNN student news里的一些问题
时间Thu Feb 17 15:02:12 2011
Leave it to the famously plainspoken Alan Simpson,
Republican co-chair of President Obama's deficit commission,
to boil it all down. He says the president's budget is still drowning
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
in red ink for one reason: politics as usual.
^^^^^^^^^^
红墨水? 赤字的意思吗?
还有一句SIMPSON: It isn't going away. This is a stink bomb
^^^^^^^^^^臭炸弹?
in the garden party.
请问boil it all down, in red ink还有stink bomb是什麽意思?
感谢大家<(_ _)>
