subpoena n.（传唤出庭的）传票v.用（传票）传唤 (1) 这对夫妇可能会接到传票出庭。(2) 他们拿到了传票，要来检查我们的书。(3) 拘传应当发拘传票。(4) 如果证人拒绝出庭，书记官可以传唤他或她出庭。 Subpoena can also be a verb: You can subpoena someone by giving them a subpoena. If you receive a subpoena but fail to carry out its instructions, you're in big trouble. This fact is suggested by the Latin roots of this word: the prefix sub- means "under" and poena means "penalty." One nice thing about a subpoena is that it's not a summons; if you get one of those, it means you're being sued.
