Question

demolish v.拆毁；破坏；驳倒；<口>吃光 (1) 贫民区已被拆除。(2) 他们将拆毁那座旧建筑物。(3) 这个经历彻底摧毁了她的信心。(4) 她的文章精辟地批驳了他的论点。 In casual speech, demolish can also mean “devour,” as a group of hungry teenagers might demolish a pizza. The noun form of demolish is demolition, which often implies destruction by means of explosives. Demolish combines the prefix de-, which can mean “undo,” with the Latin verb moliri, meaning “to build" — which makes sense if you are thinking of 'undoing a building' with explosives!
