orchestrate

yuyu19

orchestrate。Orchestrate来自orchestra，指管弦乐队。可是别想听音乐，报导说的是伊拉克前统治者萨达姆。文章说：\"... prosecutors accused him of orchestrating the ...campaign against the Kurds...,\" 意思是：检察官指责他领导指挥了残杀库尔德人的运动。

原来orchestrate可以解释为指挥、领导。对，可以和音乐没有关系。比如说：A few people orchestrated the large-scale protest campaign against U.S. policy on illegal immigrants，某些人负责安排了抗议美国非法移民政策的大规模活动。Mrs. Smith orchestrated all the arrangements for her daughter's wedding，母亲为她女儿的婚礼做了所有的安排。
