evict

基本释义

[verb] expel (someone) from a property, especially with the support of the law
[动词] (尤指在法律的支持下)将某人从某个房产中驱逐出去

深入解读

Evict 一词源自拉丁语 evincere (战胜并驱逐、征服、制服、彻底击败;取代),与常见单词 victory (胜利)、 convict (证明有罪)、 convince (使确信)等同词根 vict, vinc (征服、克服)。

15世纪中期进入英语后, evict 最初用来表示“通过法律手段或程序收回或追回”财产、产权等。等到了16世纪30年代后, evict 开始发展出今天的主要含义指“驱逐、赶出、逐出”,主要表示通过法律或同等有效的程序将房客、佃户等从房产或土地上驱逐出去,通常是因为不付租金,但也包括因为吸毒、暴力滋事等违法行为,比如:

  • 跟你说实话,如果不继续交费,你会被赶出去。
    To be candid with you, if you don’t keep up payments you could be evicted.
  • 那个身材高大的男人因为醉酒及暴力滋事被赶出酒馆。他喝了两杯就醉了。
    The hefty man was evicted from the bar for drunken and disorderly behaviour. Two drinks muddled him.

好书例句

But he could not see her family evicted, and his disappointment soon faded at the sight of her radiant happiness, disappeared entirely at the loving way she “took on” over his generosity.
不过,他总不能眼看着她的一家人被撵出去呀,而且一看到她兴高采烈的模样,他的失望情绪就开始减退,再看看她对他的慷慨“深表感激”时的娇媚样儿,失望情绪更一下子无影无踪了。

出自美国作家玛格丽特·米切尔(Margaret Mitchell)创作的长篇小说《飘》(Gone with the Wind)。
