词性： v. n.  
音标： [ˈlevi]  
释义： impose and collect，强制征收，收取[税费]，cause to assemble or enlist in the military[征兵]

Use the word _levy_ as you would use the word _tax_: “When the state government imposed a levy on soft drinks, thousands of citizens took to the streets in protest.”

The word _levy_ can act as either a verb or a noun in a sentence. The noun _levy_ refers to a charge, such as a tax, fine, or other fee, that is imposed on something. The verb _levy_ is used to describe the act of imposing or collecting the charge. If you need to raise money, for example, you may decide to _levy_ a fine on your family every time you have to make the coffee in the morning. (Be careful though: your family may also take to the streets in protest.)
