“I see,” she says. “So you’re a smarty-mouth. Then see if you
can understand this. Michael Andrew, you have detention.”
“What? But…”
“Not another word, young sir.”
-----------------------------------------------
detention 在高中課本和新聞上常作「拘留」,或是當年台灣爆發 SARS 或像肺炎等傳染性疾病時時,也表示「隔離」。
根據 google 字典解釋,這個字在校園裡的用法是一種處罰的方式,即「課後留校」或「留校察看」。
-----------------------------------------------------------
Detention is a punishment for naughty schoolchildren,
who are made to stay at school after the other children
have gone home.
