学个词Learn a Word 第394期 Spin

今天我们要学的词是spin。 Spin, 是旋转。"The skater is practicing her jumps and spins," 不过spin 这个词要是用到政治上，那就有别的意思了。比如："'Spin wars' are expected for Obama and Clinton," 有人说，奥巴马和希拉里.克林顿的竞争如此激烈，两个阵营即将展开一场广泛的宣传战来压倒对方。Spin在这里含有耍政治手腕的意思。"Politicians and pundits¹ are always trying to put a spin on issues." 不过也不是所有的事情都可以spin。所以你也可以说："You can't spin that." "Stop spinning, you are making me dizzy."
