ransom, Ransome

ransom
(n) 贖金
(v) 付贖金以贖回人質; 要脅贖金

The pirates hold the hostage to ransom(v)/to demand a ransom(n) of 1 million dollars.
The hostages' family pay money to ransom the kidnapped persons.


ransom的意義是贖金 讓我聯想到電影/電視劇中兄弟的跑路費
ran -> run
som -> some money
跑路需要的"所費" 常常來自贖金
The gangster threaten the victim to pay some money as his "ransom".


G 一下
"... Ransom. 片長:121分 由梅爾吉勃遜主演,朗霍華執導的精彩動作片,根據1956年的同名電影所改編 ..."
