/ June 25, 2019 Daughter “Placed” Outside Window as Punishment . Summary: Close your eyes and imagine you are lying prone on the hanging laundry attachment outside your home, praying that it can support your weight as the jaws of death are open wide below on the ground. Whether the 10-year-old girl subjected to such a death-defying punishment learnt her lesson remained unknown, but the police certainly taught her father a lesson: his way of disciplining his child defied sense. . Language Enhancement: Death-defying (adj.)(極其危險的) Defy (v.) 解作「反抗／有違」，相當於 be + against，因此如果形容一個行為是「反抗死亡的」，即是它是極為危險，不顧性命，因此經常用作形容電影特技和馬戲團的高難度雜技。注意它只可以置於名詞前，換言之是不適用於 N. + be + adj. 句構。 e.g. Magicians often perform death-defying acts as a way to keep the crowd interested. e.g. Despite the grave danger of rooftopping, many young people participate in this death-defying activity just for a picture to show off on the Internet. ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2019dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2019 #dsefighter #2019dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20190625
