gripe 是抱怨的意思。 During her speech, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam focused on economic gripes, vowing to increase housing and land supply in a city that has one of the least affordable property markets in the world; but she offered no political concessions. 香港行政长官林郑月娥的讲话关注于人们对香港经济问题的不满,誓言要在这个全球房地产最昂贵的城市之一加大住房和土地供应,但她没有做出任何政治上的让步。
