讲 解
【词块】这个句子比较长,我们来分析一下。主干部分是the end of TikTok may be closer tonight,今晚抖音离死亡更近一步了。
as we know it “正如我们所知道的”,修饰句子主干。
after the House of Representatives passed a bill 是从句,表示时间点是在众议院通过了一个法案之后。
that could impose a ban on the hugely popular video-sharing app in the US.是从句,修饰 bill,表示这个法案可能会禁止抖音在美国运营。
the House of Representatives即众议院,是美国的立法机构——美国国会的下议院,上议院则是参议院,the Senate.
bill在这里的意思是“法案”,一项法案提出来还没通过就叫做 bill,如果众议院和参议院都通过了,总统签署了就成了 law。
impose表示推行法律、采用规章制度或者强制实行某种惩罚,比如impose a ban,颁布禁令,impose a fine,实行罚款。
