[请益] moratorium 在文中的意思

楼主: norge (Boston)   2018-12-16 19:13:09
在一篇关于印尼森林被砍伐的文章中
A court ruling five years ago was supposed to protect
the right of indigenous peoples to live undisturbed in
their native habitat, but corporate farming continued
to encroach on the national park the Orang Rimba called
home.
Last month, President Joko Widodo of Indonesia signed a
moratorium on new palm oil plantation development throughout
the country for the next three years.
第二段第二行中的 moratorium 在这里是指“暂停、中止”的意思吗?
字典中有两个意思,刚好会让意思相反

1 an official stopping of an activity for a period of time
2 a law or an agreement that gives people more time to pay
their debts

> 字典中有两个意思,刚好会让意思相反No. 只有都是在讲"to pay their debts"方面的事情时才是意思相反。比如“还债”和“借书”并不会因为用到“还”和“借”两个字就变成意思相反的说法。你问的文章没有提到"to pay their debts"或是"debts",所以第二个字义不用考虑
