Overrun: 蹂躏,侵占
世界各国的领导人们加入了纪念10年前斯雷布列尼察(Srebrenica)大屠杀的5万人群中,那是欧洲自二战以来最惨烈的大屠杀,共有近8000名穆斯林教徒被杀害。外电报道如下:World leaders joined 50,000 people to remember the victims of Europe's worst massacre since World War II -- the death of nearly 8,000 Muslims 10 years ago when Serbs overran the U.N.-protected enclave of Srebrenica.
The sound of Muslim prayer echoed through a loudspeaker as relatives wandered among 610 caskets containing newly identified remains.
After a religious service, the caskets were passed from hand to hand toward the graves and buried. The sound of dirt striking the coffins and the weeping of women competed with a voice reading out the names of the victims.
Overrun表示“蹂躏,蔓延,侵占,泛滥,超过”,例如:Locusts overran the prairie.(蝗虫肆虐草原。)The new fashion overran the country.(这款新装风行全国。)The river overran its banks.(河水从堤岸溢出。)Your speech has overrun the time limit.(你的演讲超过了时间。)
据悉,斯雷布列尼察(Srebrenica)是位于波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那东边的一个小山镇,出产盐矿和温泉。1995年,波西尼亚的塞尔维亚人制造了斯雷布列尼察大屠杀,数千名穆斯林教徒惨死。
