今天我们要学的词是 chasm.
chasm 的意思是裂痕、鸿沟。 The Hong Kong protests have shed light on the chasm between how news about Hong Kong is portrayed inside China and outside. 香港的抗议活动让人们看到中国境内和境外对有关香港的报道出现的鸿沟。
The chasm between those demanding the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his own unyielding position leaves little room for compromise. 要求叙利亚总统阿萨德下台的声音与他自己毫不退让的立场相距甚远，几乎没有折中的余地。
