Exhaustion
精疲力尽
柬埔寨一头大象长期运载游客过劳死的图片上传到脸书后引发调查。请看本报昨日的报道:
An elephant, who has spent years carrying tourists to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, has died from exhaustion.
Sambo collapsed after suffering a heart attack while walking for 40 minutes in the searing heat.
A vet, who examined the elephant, said it died "due to high temperatures, heat exhaustion and lack of wind that would have helped to cool her."
An investigation has been launched after pictures of Sambo lying dead on the side of the road were posted on Facebook.
The elephant, who was between 40 and 45, spent years carrying tourists to and from the famous temple complex.
报道中的exhaustion就是“精疲力尽”,动词是exhaust (耗尽、使筋疲力尽),形容词有exhausting和exhausted。
He felt as if he would faint from exhaustion.
他感到精疲力尽得快晕过去了。
