Question

thug n.暴徒；凶残的罪犯；刺客 (1) 那可怜的人被暴徒们毒打了一顿。(2) 我们期望那些威胁度过高的嫌疑暴徒在晚上休息时不再过于安心。 It's hard to reason with thugs, since they'd rather intimidate and physically hurt people than talk. A playground bully is one kind of thug, and an armed robber is an even more dangerous one. The noun thug may have its oldest roots in the Sanskrit word sthaga-s, "cunning or fraudulent," and it's definitely related to the Marathi and Hindi thag, "cheat or swindler." The earliest use of thug, from 1810, was "member of a murdering gang of robbers in India."
