今天我们学习两个表达，第一个hold sb. hostage，是什么意思呢？
“把某个人挟持为人质”；这个短语的用法我们之前节目中讲过；
to keep one somewhere without their permission or consent, as in a robbery or similar situation
eg: The terrorists held him hostage for 18 months.
那些恐怖分子曾把他囚为人质长达18个月。

eg: The terrorists planned to hold everyone hostage in the airplane.
那些恐怖分子曾计划把那架飞机上的每一个人都挟持为人质。

eg: My neighbor was held hostage in his own home by a robber.
我的邻居在自己家里被一个抢劫犯挟持为人质了。

eg: If the bank robbers start holding civilians hostage, we'll have a much bigger crisis on our hands.
如果那些银行抢劫犯开始挟持平民为人质，那我们手头的问题就更麻烦了。

我们要学***二个表达叫做：rough sb. up；
to use physical violence against someone or to push someone around with physical force
“对某个人使用武力、暴力手段；或者用武力手段欺凌某个人”；
还有词典这么解释：
to beat someone up; to mistreat someone
“揍某个人；虐待某个人”；

eg: I managed to get video footage of he roughing Jack up on the street.
我成功拿到了他在大街上暴揍Jack的视频。

eg: Am I going to have to rough you up, or will you cooperate?
我是打你一顿好呢，还是你乖乖配合？
