國(guó)葬、國(guó)宴
[ 2007-04-25 08:00 ]
無(wú)可否認(rèn)，俄前總統(tǒng)葉利欽曾是世界政壇上的重量級(jí)人物，同時(shí)也極具爭(zhēng)議。普京對(duì)葉利欽的評(píng)價(jià)是“率直而勇敢的民族領(lǐng)袖”。對(duì)于葉利欽的辭世，俄總統(tǒng)普京表示沉重哀悼，并宣布周三為葉利欽舉行國(guó)葬儀式。
請(qǐng)看外電相關(guān)報(bào)道：Mr Yeltsin, who led Russia between 1991 and 1999, died of heart
failure in Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital.
He suffered years of cardiac problems that required several major operations.
The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin telephoned Mr Yeltsin's widow Naina to
offer his condolences. Despite a campaign to discredit him, the Kremlin also
announced that the late president would be given a state funeral on Wednesday.
報(bào)道中的“state funeral”指的就是“國(guó)葬”。“State”在此表示“與國(guó)事有關(guān)的，正式的”，如：state dinner（國(guó)宴）、state
car（貴賓車(chē)）、state visit（國(guó)事訪問(wèn)）、the State Guest House（國(guó)賓館）。
此外，因?yàn)槎砹_斯前總統(tǒng)葉利欽死于心臟衰竭，這里順便提兩個(gè)醫(yī)學(xué)詞匯：cardio-vascular problem（心血管疾病）；heart bypass
surgery（心臟搭橋手術(shù)）。
