Question

onslaught n.猛攻；攻击；抨击 (1) 我们的军队奋力抵挡敌人的猛攻。(2) 那支军队第一次突击就夺取了要塞。(3) 每年夏天，这座小城都要熬过一段旅游者蜂拥而至的苦日子。(4) 那个政客对工会进行猛烈抨击。 One way to help you remember the brutal meaning of onslaught is through the word's English origin, slaught, meaning "slaughter." But onslaught can be used in non-military ways, too. It can mean a barrage of written or spoken communication, like an onslaught of emailed birthday wishes. Taken individually, the birthday wishes are nice but an onslaught is too many, too fast, all at once. Onslaught can also mean a sudden and severe start of trouble. For example, if your office is unprepared for the onslaught of flu season, the entire sales force will be home sick at the same time.
