deplore

据报道,巴格达踩踏事件中的死亡人数估计可能达到1000人,遇难者大多是老弱妇孺。当天,数千人前往巴格达北部的一座清真寺参加一项重要的宗教庆祝活动,途径底格里斯河上的一座桥时,忽然听到有自杀式袭击的传闻,人群一片混乱,结果造成重大人员伤亡。这是自美国发动伊拉克战争以来,伊拉克发生的最惨重的单起事件。请看外电:

World leadersdeploredthe catastrophe in Baghdad where hundreds of people were trampled to death on a bridge or drowned in the Tigris river.

Statesmen and leaders of international organizations sent their deepest condolences to the thousands of Iraqis mourning their loved ones who were killed Wednesday when a Shiite Muslim procession was panicked into a stampede.

文中的deplore的意思是 to say or think that something is very bad,表示"深表遗憾", 如:What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?(你对自己身上的品格,最不满意哪一点?)此外,deplore 还有to condemn(谴责)的意思,如:Even though I deplore the decision, I'll have to accept it.(虽然我谴责这项决定,我不得不接受它。)
