词性：v. n.  
音标：  
释义：大辐度削减[经费]，严厉批评，挥砍，鞭打。

To quickly and violently cut something is to _slash_ it. Sword fighters in a play might just clank their swords together, though they seem to _slash_ each other. After the play is over, the snack stand might _slash_ the price of popcorn.

A vandal might slash the tires on people’s cars, and a baker will sometimes slash the top of a loaf of bread. Both use a sharp knife, and make sweeping motions as they cut, but the similarities end there. Figuratively, _slash_ can mean “reduce,” so a sale at your grocery store might be announced with a sign reading “We _slash_ prices!” This figurative meaning dates from the turn of the 20th century.
