雅典奧運(yùn)會(huì)終于在全世界人民的矚目下掀開(kāi)了帷幕，這使主辦這次奧運(yùn)會(huì)的希臘人民驕傲不已。但兩名非常著名的希臘運(yùn)動(dòng)員卻因未通過(guò)興奮劑測(cè)試而被取消了參賽資格，造成了一定的尷尬局面。對(duì)此外電中有這樣的報(bào)道：The curtain rises on the Athens Olympics on Friday but Greek pride was overwhelmed with embarrassment after their two most famous athletes faced expulsion from the Games over drugs. Expulsion 在上文中的意思是“逐出、開(kāi)除”。它的動(dòng)詞形式是expel，經(jīng)常和from連用。例如：After the outbreak of fighting, all foreign journalists were expelled. （在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)開(kāi)始后，所有的外國(guó)記者都被驅(qū)逐出境）。Expel還有“把某人開(kāi)除”的意思。例如：The boy was expelled from school. （這男孩被學(xué)校開(kāi)除了）。
