分享一个知识点： Reader question: Please explain “hot button” in this description of Donald Trump’s campaign style, “his insult-flavored style of infotainment politics and his hot-button remarks about immigrants.” My comments: Trump’s hot-button remarks about immigrants? That means what Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for President of the United States, says about immigrants makes people angry. He said, among other incendiary remarks about different people, that immigrants from Mexico are criminals – “They’re rapists”, etc. Those are the type of remarks that are not true. Cannot be true. Those are remarks anyone with decency just doesn’t make – certainly not in public. Certainly, those are remarks that someone who wants to be President doesn’t normally make. But then Trump is not just another normal candidate. He’s rich (“very rich”, as he reminds his supporters every so often) and he’s famous and he doesn’t have a large vocabulary. And it sometimes feels like this man (whose language, to use a cliché, makes a sailor blush) is in the race for the White House just to be more on television (that’s why they say his is a style of infotainment, a combination of politics and entertainment). Anyways, what we will focus on is the term “hot button” as an adjective. |
