Outraged, villagers surrounded the municipal government vehicles, threw rocks, and overturned dozens of police vehicles and utility cars.
忿怒的村民包圍了市政府臨時行動中心,拋擲石頭,推翻數十輛警車和公共車輛。

【講解】1.outraged, 憤怒的,=angry = furious = irritated=enraged

2.這句有三個主要動詞,surround(包圍), threw(拋擲), overturn(推翻), 用and連接起來。

3.dozens of: 數十個。Tens of, scores of, 也都是數十個,一個dozen是12,一個score是20。所以dozens of大約是24-48,scores of大約是40-80。

4.utility: 公用的, utility facility: 公共設施。

【講解】1. district: 區域。通常記者用:area, zone, region, district這幾個字表示區域。 2. enterprise: 企業,entrepreneur: 企業家 3.majority: 多數,少數則是minority.
