前澳大利亚总理陆克文最近写了一封公开信请求从中国购买医疗用品来帮助他的国家和美国纽约州对抗新冠肺炎疫情。请看本报昨日的评论: Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, known for his fluency in Chinese, has recently written an emotional open letter to “Chinese friends,” making a plea to purchase medical supplies from China to help fight COVID-19 in Australia and New York state. Many countries are facing an acute shortage of such medical supplies as COVID-19 continues to ravage the world. 报道中的make a plea就是“请求、恳求”的意思。例如: The prisoner made a plea for mercy. 这个囚犯请求宽大处理。 |
