To disturb在这种情况下的用法,除了指『打扰人家』,也包含了『请求帮忙』的意思,不过这种忙不能太过份,只可以是小人情(favor),不会占对方太多时间和精力。因为要打扰人家的工作,所以用to disturb的时候,必须先道歉后请求,而且态度要客气。
如果对方在进行重要的工作,不好意思打扰,但偏偏手上的事非常要紧,就可用to interrupt(打断)这个词,例:
I am sorry to interrupt your meeting, but there is an urgent long-distance call for Mr. Chow.(很抱歉打断你们的会议,但刚接到找周先生的紧急长途电话。)
To disrupt(中断)和to interrupt有相近的解释,但表示干扰的程度很大,对方差不多要把手上的工作完全放下来办求问者的事,例:
I am sorry to disrupt your work but the Marketing Director is calling an urgent meeting in 30 minutes and wants you to attend.(很抱歉打断你的工作,可是市场总监三十分钟后会召开紧急会议,希望你出席。)

6,public distrust of scientists是什么意思
大众对科学家的不信任公众对科学家的不信任;我找了一下,这是原文,2005六级考试阅读理解。 public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and manufacture. most government, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise ha brought in the past and will bring in the future. politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines our scientists have invented, the new drugs to relieve old ailments (病痛), and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previously intractable (难治疗的) conditions may now be treated and lives saved. at the same time, the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to economics needs, that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are near the market and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. dependent, as they are, on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to comply. like the rest of us, they are members of a society that rates the creation of wealth as the greatest possible good.many have reservations, but keep them to themselves in what they perceive as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding for its own sake and the idea of an inquiring, creative spirit.对科学家的普遍不信任public distrust of scientists公众对科学家的不信任双语对照例句:1.Popular distrust of nuclear power continues. 人们仍然普遍对核能发电深感不信任。2.Public distrust of business will remain high. 公众对美国商业的持续走高持怀疑态度。
