【4.16】★每日一句★The thunder storm took its tolls on human lives.
The thunder storm took its tolls on human lives.
暴风雨造成了人命的损失.
=======================================================
Toll 就是指收费的意思, 像是高速公路上的收费站就是叫 Toll station. Take its toll 是一个片语, 在电视新闻上常听到. 字面上是说对某样东西收费, 其实指的就是造成某些东西的损失, on 后面接的名词就是指损失的东西. 每当美国龙卷风跟暴风雨的季节, 新闻上常可以听到播报员这么说, "The thunder strom took its tolls on human lives."
