Bent：下决心的_新闻热词

　当地时间今年10月13日晚上9点（北京时间14日上午9点），美国总统大选的第三场公开辩论在亚利桑那州州立大学校园举行。

　外电报道如下：

　sen. john kerry said wednesday night that president bush bears responsibility for a misguided war in iraq, lost jobs at home and mounting millions without health care. the republican incumbent tagged his rival in campaign debate as a lifelong liberal bent on raising taxes and government spending.

　bent和on连用，表示“下决心的，决心做某事的”，例如：i was bent on going to the theater.（我一心要去剧院。）
