HKBU Students’ Union’s Statement Criticised: Too Casual
.
Summary:
In an attempt to explain why students occupied the Language Centre on campus and hurled insults at the teaching staff, the Students’ Union of Hong Kong Baptist University expressed their dissatisfaction with the way the school assessed their Mandarin proficiency in a statement, whose meaning was, ironically, obscured by colloquial Cantonese.

Language Enhancement:
Obscure (v.)(掩蓋/使…難以理解)
此字在考評局年報的作文卷評分指引中有用上,是指某物件或事情難以被看見、聽見、理解等,因此我們可以說例如某景觀被雲霧掩蓋了,或是某句意思受文法錯誤影響而無法被理解。
e.g. We walked all the way up the hill to watch the sunrise, only to find the view obscured by fog.
e.g. The murderer used an electric blanket to keep the corpse warm so as to obscure the victim’s time of death.
