N-COUNT (通常指新闻节目中引自政客演讲的)简短引述,原话片段 A soundbite is a short sentence or phrase, usually from a politician's speech, which is broadcast during a news programme.
...a 30-second sound bite on national television. 国家电视台 30 秒的原声片段
This has gone way beyond soundbites about billions of consumers now its about the concrete development of markets. 这远不只是说有数十亿消费者如今说的是市场的具体发展。
Political discourse has reverted to strings of soundbites, the process Orwell described as "gumming together long strips of words, which have already been set in order by someone else". 政治演讲已变成一连串的讲话片段,其过程如奥威尔笔下描述的那样,就是“把长串的单词按照别人预先设置好的顺序粘起来”。
While the US is still the chief political ally, Mr Obama's cheery soundbites on Korean issues are not convincing Seoul that Washington is dedicating enough thought to the peninsula. 尽管美国仍是韩国的主要政治盟友,但奥巴马就韩国问题发表的动听言辞,并不能让韩国政府相信,美国政府对朝鲜半岛倾注了足够的精力。
