1. 這是個什么詞？
詞：curb
英英釋義：to control or limit something in order to prevent it from having a harmful effect
例句：He is a nice guy, and it is just that he cannot curb his temper sometimes.
2. 為什么選這個詞栋豫？
“curb”是及物動詞酪耕，意思是“控制”、“限制”。這是一個出現(xiàn)頻率極高的單詞，幾乎會出現(xiàn)在每一期《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中提澎。可以用它來替換 control 和 limit念链。下面通過幾個例子來掌握這個詞虱朵。
他人很好，就是有時(shí)候不太會控制自己的脾氣钓账，可以說：
He is a nice guy, and it is just that he cannot curb his temper sometimes.
很多年前紐約市為了限制高峰期交通，提高了停車費(fèi)絮宁，我們就可以說：
Many years ago New York City raised parking fees in order to curb rush-hour traffic.
北京為了控?zé)煄啄昵俺雠_了相關(guān)法律梆暮，不過一點(diǎn)用都沒有，就可以說：
To curb smoking in public areas, Beijing rolled out a regulation against it a few years ago. Thanks to lack of enforcement, however, smokers still smoke in public, completely disregarding the rule and people around them.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》一篇關(guān)于非洲恐怖主義的文章中就用到了 curb：
At the same time, they could work harder to curb corruption and human-rights abuses by their armies and police forces.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在另一篇關(guān)于 YouTube 監(jiān)管的文章中也用到了 curb：
Governments meanwhile are taking direct action to curb content that they deem inappropriate.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》在寫移民問題時(shí)常常會用到 curb, 比如一篇關(guān)于魁北克政治的文章中就用到了：
Mr Legault, a former airline executive, campaigned to curb immigration, even though the province has a labour shortage, and to deny work permits to newcomers who fail tests of “Quebec values” and proficiency in French.
最近有一期《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》Special report 寫的是南非绍昂，其中多次用到了 curb, 比如這句：
It was then that Jacob Zuma began his nineyear reign as president, during which time the thuggish kleptocrat and his cronies ransacked state-owned enterprises (SOEs), plundered local and provincial governments, and ravaged the law-enforcement institutions set up to curb such looting.
3. 怎樣學(xué)會使用這個詞啦粹？
1）翻譯下面的句子： 特朗普對移民很不友好偿荷，一上臺就開始限制移民。
Trump is extremely unfriendly towards immigrants and started to curb it as soon as he began his president career.
（參考翻譯：Trump is extremely unfriendly towards immigration and started to curb it as soon as he became president. 或 Utterly unfriendly to immigration, Trump started to curb it as soon as he was elected president.）
2）結(jié)合自己的生活唠椭、學(xué)習(xí)跳纳、工作、興趣等贪嫂，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達(dá)寺庄。先簡要描述這個場景，再造句力崇。
例子： 打黑除惡
場景：To curb crime rate, Chinese government recently took action on crime crackdown.
