7日,中国外交部发表声明,坚决反对美国国防部旨在渲染"中国军事威胁论"的防务评估报告,称中国军队发展并没有对世界造成威胁。
请看相关报道:China yesterday rejected a Pentagon report that plays up the "China military
threat," saying it poses no threat to the world.
这句话中"play up"可以解释为emphasize;give special importance
to,意思是大肆渲染,反义词是"play down"。如:She played up her experience during the job
interview.(在工作面试时她夸大了自己的经验。)
另外,这个词组还有"使痛苦,使恼火"的意思,如我们可以说:The class played the new teacher
up.(这班学生惹得老师发火。)
