斯里兰卡外长卡迪尔加马尔8月12日深夜在其位于科伦坡的住宅内遭暗杀身亡。15日下午斯里兰卡为卡迪尔加马尔举行国葬,斯总理拉贾帕克萨在讲话中呼吁国民搁置分歧和国际社会共同努力,铲除恐怖主义。
外电报道如下:Sri
Lankans cremated their assassinated foreign minister Monday as the
government urged the international community to clamp down on overseas
supporters of Tamil rebels amid fears the killing could scuttle a
three-year-old cease-fire.
句中的clamp down
on表示"施压于;压制;限制;对……进行取缔"的意思。例如:The government is clamping down on teenage
drinking.(政府正在禁止青少年饮酒。)Following the military coup, there has been a
clampdown on press reporting in the
capital.(军事政变以后,对首都的新闻报道进行压制。)
