延伸閱讀：“動(dòng)車追尾”事故關(guān)鍵詞
Beginning this month, more bullet trainsin China will slow down to increase safety. The decision was made after new problems were disclosed with one model of the high-speed train, China Daily reported.
為保障安全，自本月起中國(guó)多列動(dòng)車將降速運(yùn)行。此前，某型號(hào)動(dòng)車又出現(xiàn)新問題。
Tell Me More
The word bulletmeans more than just ammunition for a gun. High-speed trains are often called bullet trains, even though they don’t travel nearly as fast as a bullet fired from a gun.
If you are asked to finish a hard task without complaining, your co-workers might tell you to “bite the bullet” and just do it. If you are asked to take all responsibility for a project that fails, you might be asked to “take a bullet” for your co-workers and say it’s your fault and not theirs. If you don’t agree with the idea, you can just say, “I’m not going to take a bullet for you or anybody else.”
Bullet不僅能表示子彈。“動(dòng)車”常被稱作bullet train，盡管速度并不真像子彈那么快。
如果你面臨的任務(wù)很艱難，但又必須毫無怨言，同事們可能會(huì)告訴你去“bite the bullet”（頂住），去做吧。如果你被要求為某個(gè)失敗的項(xiàng)目承擔(dān)全部責(zé)任，你可能就要為你的同事們“take a bullet”（擋子彈），承認(rèn)錯(cuò)不在他們，在你自己。如果你不同意，你可以說：“我不會(huì)為任何人擋子彈。”
