.
Summary:

Language Enhancement:
Cordon (v.)(封鎖)
此字作動詞時，絕大部分場合是與介詞 off 連用：cordon + sth. + off，意思是把一個範圍或物件圍住並封鎖起來，禁止其他人士進入，也因此特別常見於政府當局或警方封鎖現場的場合。close/seal/fence + sth. + off也有相近的意思。
e.g. The building was cordoned off due to a burst pipe.
e.g. Detecting a possible virus outbreak, the hospital immediately cordoned the geriatric ward off.
