overshadow: 投上阴影

overshadow

第八次中欧领导人峰会今日在人民大会堂召开。欧盟轮值主席国主席、英国首相布莱尔,欧盟委员会主席巴罗佐等人将与中国国家主席胡锦涛、国务院总理温家宝等领导人共同出席此次峰会。请看报道:

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has arrived in Beijing for the annual EU-China summit overshadowed by a trade dispute over textile quotas.

Blair will attend the summit Monday as part of Britain's turn at the rotating presidency of the 25-nation European Union before holding talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao.

文中overshadow 意思是to cast a shadow over; darken or obscure,即"投上阴影;夺去光彩",如:The news that his father had been hurt in an accident overshadowed his first day in his new job.(他父亲在车祸中受伤的消息给他参加新工作的第一天蒙上了阴影。)
