0917每日一词（cripple）

(1)翻译下面的句子：台风山竹（Typhoon Mangkhut）严重破坏了香港和广东地区的电力供应和通讯服务。

我的翻译：Typhoon Mangkhut has crippled electricity supply and communication service in Hong Kong and Guangdong province.

（参考翻译：Typhoon Mangkhut has crippled the electricity supply and communication services in Hong Kong and Guangdong. ）

修订：electricity supply之前加上the更好。

communication services 要加复数。

(2) 结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等，先想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达，然后再进行造句。

1）延毕的恐慌。Fright that he can’t graduate in 3 years had crippled him, so he dropped the PhD application.

2）虚荣的侵害。Vanity crippled her, making her a woman she never want to be.

3）最近在思考“悲摧”这个词的构词理据，感觉cripple和“摧”是有点像的。“悲摧”经常用于魏晋书信中，表示亲人去世的悲痛。因此造了这个句子。His wife passed away, which crippled him.

一点感想：刚开始造句，不怎么能想到例子，像挤牙膏。结果发现造句会上瘾，哈哈~
