上周四新西兰总理杰辛达·阿德恩在新闻发布会上宣布即刻禁止售卖军用半自动步枪和突击步枪。请看本报周五的报道：

New Zealand is banning the sale of assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons with immediate effect, the country’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Thursday, rapidly making good on a pledge to tighten the country’s gun laws.

The move comes less than a week after a white supremacist rampaged through two mosques killing 50 people as they prayed, sparking global revulsion.

“Every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack Friday will be banned in this country,” Ardern told a press conference.

报道中的make good on就是“兑现承诺”或者“偿还欠债”。例如：

Tom made good on his pledge to donate US$1,000.

汤姆说到做到捐了一千美元。
