Deprive

词性:v.
音标: [dɪˈpraɪv]
释义:剥夺

deprive sb. of sth. 剥夺某人需要或者应该有的东西

Deprive means to keep from having. If your little brother gets loud and hyper every time he eats sweets, your parents might deprive him of sugary cereal and candy.

Deprive can also mean to take away something that someone already had, or feels they deserve to have, like basic human rights. “A crowd gathered to protest the man’s imprisonment for a crime he did not commit; they didn’t want to allow the government to deprive him of his freedom.” The word comes from the Latin, de", which means “entirely,” and privare, which means “release from.” Put together, they mean to “entirely release from.” In this case, the imprisoned man’s freedom is being “entirely released,” or taken away, and he’ll no longer have it.

deprived
贫穷的,穷苦的,缺少食物的,缺少教育的

Being deprived means lacking important things like food and water. For example, when warm clothing, housing, and nutrition are in short supply, the people are deprived of basics of life.

You can use the adjective deprived to describe conditions or people who don’t have what they need or don’t have enough. Some uses of deprived are for small things, like when you’re deprived of dessert because you didn’t eat your vegetables, but most of the time deprived describes a very serious lack of essential things or services.
