今天我们学习一个单词，叫做squelch。
这个单词字面意思是什么呢？
可以表示：to make a sucking sound like the one produced when you are walking on soft wet ground
“发出噗嗤噗嗤的声音，就像走在湿漉漉又很软的地面上一样”；
eg: The mud squelched as I walked through it.
我走过那片泥泞的土地的时候，泥巴发出噗嗤噗嗤的声音。

但是值得注意的是，这个单词它有另外一个意思：
在美式英语中，squelch可以指“迅速制止那些给你惹来麻烦的事情；镇压；阻止；”
to quickly end something that is causing you problems

eg: He immediately squelched any signs of a dispute.
他很快掐灭了大家争执的苗头。
