■释义

[noun] A remark made in order to anger,wound,or provoke someone[名词] 意在激怒、伤害或挑衅某人的言论

■解读

关于taunt的词源，一种说法是源自于法语“tant pour tant”（以牙还牙）。它既可作名词也可作动词，表示讥讽、嘲弄、挖苦等。在意思相近的词中，jeer多是群体而非特定对象所做的嘲讽和奚落，常用于crowd/mob；sneer强调的是通过轻蔑的表情、语句或语调来侮辱对方；而taunt是专门为触怒和挑衅对方而进行羞辱。

翻译下这段吧

It was a case to make kleptocrats blush. Some $4.5bn of public funds were stolen—more than the entire annual revenue of almost half the world’s governments. Much of the money was squandered on high living: a superyacht, gambling sprees, a $23m diamond necklace. Some was even spent a film about financial fraud, “The Wolf of Wall Street”, as if to taunt the investigators trying to track the stolen funds around the world.

这是一个让贪污犯脸红的案件。约45亿美元的公共资金被盗——超过了世界上几乎一半政府的全部年收入。大部分钱被挥霍在奢华的生活上：一艘超级游艇、疯狂**、一条价值2300万美元的钻石项链。有些钱甚至被用来拍摄一部关于金融欺诈的电影《华尔街之狼(“The Wolf of Wall Street”)》，这仿佛在嘲笑那些试图在世界各地追踪被盗资金的调查人员。

In the end, however, the gumshoes got their man. Malaysia’s highest court this week upheld the conviction of Najib Razak, the country’s prime minister at the time of the theft, through whose personal accounts more than $700m of the stolen funds passed. He has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for his part in the scandal and ordered to pay a fine of $47m (see Asia section).

然而，最终，侦探们抓到了人。本周，马来西亚最高法院维持了对案发生时该国总理纳吉布·拉扎克(Najib Razak)的定罪，逾7亿美元的被盗资金通过其个人账户转移。他因涉案该丑闻而被判处12年监禁及勒令支付罚款4700万美元（见“Asia”部分）。
