英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To press-gang (force into naval service). historical
    — The Barbadian planters […] resorted to shipping in hundreds of Scottish and Irish soldiers who’d been taken prisoner during Oliver Cromwell’s conquest. When that supply ran out, they took to kidnapping children, so many that a new term was coined: “barbadosed” meant the same thing in the late seventeenth century as “shanghaied” would in the twentieth.
专有名词
  1. An island and country in the Caribbean.
