overthrow

v.推翻;打倒;将…赶下台

音标:

/əʊvə'θrəʊ/

英英释义:

When a government or leader is overthrown, they are removed from power by force.

例句:

①That government was overthrown in a military coup three years ago.

那个政府在3年前的军事政变中被推翻

②They succeeded in overthrowing the fascist dictatorship.

他们成功推翻了法西斯独裁统治。

我觉得这个词挺好记忆的hhh,“over”表示“方位”,“throw”就是“丢”,“从上面丢下来”就可以理解为“推翻统治阶级”
