Launch a probe into

    展开调查

    国际刑事法庭17日启动一项针对以色列入侵巴勒斯坦案件的调查，以加快对以色列可能的“战争罪行”调查步伐。以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡称此项调查“荒唐可笑”。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Israel's prime minister said the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to launch a probe into possible war crimes in Palestinian territories is "absurd" and "preposterous."

    In a harshly worded statement Saturday, Benjamin Netanyahu said the ultimate folly of the decision is that the democracy of Israel is being targeted while "the terrorist war criminals of Hamas are the ones who are going to be pressing the charges."

    He said he wouldn't be "surprised if ISIS, al-Qaida and Hezbollah follow suit."

    报道中的launch a probe into就是“展开调查”，launch是“开始”，probe是“调查”，可作名词和动词。例如：

    The regulators have launched a probe into the price rigging in foreign exchange markets.

    监管部门对操纵外汇市场价格展开调查。
