標題[請益] moratorium 在文中的意思
時間Sun Dec 16 19:13:09 2018
在一篇關於印尼森林被砍伐的文章中
A court ruling five years ago was supposed to protect
the right of indigenous peoples to live undisturbed in
their native habitat, but corporate farming continued
to encroach on the national park the Orang Rimba called
home.
Last month, President Joko Widodo of Indonesia signed a
moratorium on new palm oil plantation development throughout
the country for the next three years.
第二段第二行中的 moratorium 在這裡是指「暫停、中止」的意思嗎？
字典中有兩個意思，剛好會讓意思相反

1 an official stopping of an activity for a period of time
2 a law or an agreement that gives people more time to pay
their debts

4F：→ dunchee: No. 只有都是在講"to pay their debts"方面的事情時才是 12/17 03:24
5F：→ dunchee: 意思相反。比如「還債」和「借書」並不會因為用到「還」 12/17 03:24
6F：→ dunchee: 和「借」兩個字就變成意思相反的說法。 12/17 03:24
7F：→ dunchee: 你問的文章沒有提到"to pay their debts"或是"debts"， 12/17 03:24
8F：→ dunchee: 所以第二個字義不用考慮 12/17 03:25
