Clamp down：对……施压_体育术语

　尽管奥运赛场上观众寥寥无几，但中国女子手球队的姑娘们早已习惯了这样的场面。在今年8月23日结束的小组赛中，中国队以28以23战胜巴西队，两胜两负排名小组第三，从而取得了参加四分之一决赛的资格，晋级八强。

　外电报道如下：

　china advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's handball competition after beating brazil 28-23 in their group a clash today. …they（brazil）were ignited by zhai chao (chn), the best player in the world last year, who scored four goals in a row to put china ahead. following her example, the other chinese players clamped down on the brazilians and went on a goal frenzy of their own.

　clamp down常和on连用，表示“对……施加压力；取缔”，例如：the police clamped down on illegal stock exchange activities in the streets.（警察取缔了街道上的非法证券交易。）名词clamp-down表示“（为防止和压制某事而采取的）严厉政策”。
