妙语佳句，活学活用
1. plunge into
“卷入，陷入”的意思。Samuel的意思是说“整个文明世界都被卷入到战争中”。 Plunge 还可以指“全神贯注地投入到某件事情中”，例如：The kids plunged8 into the story. 孩子们整个被这个故事迷住了。
2. Has no place in
“‘文明 这个词根本不能用来形容这个世界。”在Colonel Ludlow看来，这个世界虚伪又残忍，根本谈不上“文明”。Has no place in 通常的意思是 inappropriate ，但语气要比它强许多。例如：Fast food has no place in hospitals. 快餐不应该卖到医院里。
