昂外語【新概念培訓】分享arrest這個詞，相信不管是對于新二還是新三的同學來說，這都是一個非常簡單的次，兩冊教材中都多次出現這個詞:
arrest: the person is taken to a POLICE STATION and kept there because the police
believe they may be guilty of a crime
翻譯成中文即：逮捕；常用的詞組有be under arrest，常常用于警匪片里：
You are under arrest now. You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer
questions. Anything you do say maybe used against you in a court of law… 這也就是美國著名的Miranda Warning的部分內容。
可是，arrest 永遠跟警察蜀黍有關么？
下面這段話節選自著名的Pride and Prejudice
In the gallery there were many family portraits, but they could have little to fix the
attention of a stranger. Elizabeth walked in quest of the only face whose features
would be known to her. At last it arrested her—and she beheld a striking resemblance
to Mr. Darcy, with such a smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes
seen when he looked at her.
女主角到了Pemberley莊園，被女主人帶領著參觀家里的掛滿肖像的畫室，可惜我們的Elizabeth小姐不是特別懂得藝術，所以她就walked in quest of the only face whose features would be known to her, 也就是我們生活里常見的畫面，尋找自己熟悉的面孔，那么找到了沒有呢？下面我們就讀到了這么一句：
At last, it arrested her.
如果不多思考，同學們這里會覺得理解不通？誰?不是說在參觀畫室么，怎么會警察來“逮捕”她了？！且文章沒見著警察蜀黍出現吶~
別急，我們翻翻詞典。
arrest的第三個意思：to make somebody notice something and pay attention to it
換句話說，arrest = fascinate / catch one’s eyes, 翻譯為中文即：吸引。
回到上文提到的段落，謎底揭開，Elizabeth 找到了她熟悉的面孔，一位其中一幅肖像吸引了她。同學們也要學習下一句中beheld a striking resemblance to的用法，這可是新概念三冊的經典詞組喔~~
