vocab - 阻赫性 ge 英文係乜....?

一個幾乎是自動對應的翻譯詞, 法庭和政府文件常用:
DETERRENT /
DETERRENT EFFECT
e.g.,
Capital punishment has no detereent effect on violence and crime.
死刑對暴力案件和罪案沒有阻嚇性

阻赫性 = Prevention (noun) 是預防,防止,也有阻赫性的意思, 主要看句子前後怎樣用.
例: The punishment for the thieves has no prevention (或 no avail) at all.

例: The punishment for the thieves has no prevention (或 no avail) at all.
這種punishment對小偷來說毫無阻赫性.

其實你大可以用prevent...form來說出阻嚇，因阻嚇就是預防某事的發生，若你在網上索尋，很多文章，都會將阻嚇譯成：prevent...from
希望幫到你！

若你想說：某punishment冇阻赫作用

可以說：This kind of punishment has no effect on preventing...from

你係咪想講恐嚇!??
恐嚇英文有:
to threaten
to terrify
to frighten
to cow
to put the fear of God into somebody
你或者可以用威嚇...:
to intimidate
to browbeat
to hector
用呢d字得唔得!!??
