装模作样地做某事；用演戏似的办法做某事.

||1: Mr Santorum did his best to expand his appeal beyond the most conservative voters, talking in histrionic terms about the need for smaller government. ||2: “This is the most important election of your lifetime,” he intoned at a rally in Peoria, the supposed navel of middle America. ||3: “Freedom [is] at stake,” he tweeted on the morning of the primary. ||4: But he had already fluffed his lines, appearing to suggest that the unemployment rate was not that important (compared with preserving America’s founding principles, he meant).

||1:就冲他曾经煽情地说过缩减政府规模的必要性这一点，桑托勒姆在向保守选民施展魅力方面也算尽心尽力了。||2:“这是你们有生之年最重要的选举”，桑托勒姆曾在美国中部的中心城市皮奥利亚的某个集会上如是说道。||3:他曾在初选的早晨情绪激昂的说“自由就要被剥夺”。||4:但是他说错了话，因为他曾暗示失业率并不那么重要（其实他的意思相较于死守美国的基本准则来说，失业率不太重要）

Mr Ashley’s thinking is more difficult to discern. Does he hope to make a quick profit, as he did in January after Sports Direct bought, and then quickly re-sold, a 4.6% stake in Debenhams? (He has swapped his holding for the right to buy 6.6% of the retailer if its share price falls to a certain level.) Perhaps he wants another outlet for flogging sportswear. House of Fraser has challenged Mr Ashley’s purchase, saying the seller should have offered the stake to other shareholders first.|| In the 1980s House of Fraser was the subject of a histrionic row between a British tycoon, Tiny Rowland, who coveted the company, and an Egyptian investor, Mohamed Al Fayed, who bought it.|| The retailer hopes to sell itself more quietly this time.

1:麦克·阿什利的想法愈发难以理解。||2:他在一月买进动向体育（Sports Direct），再迅速转手卖出，他是想用这种方式利用他在德本汉姆4.6%的股权一夜暴富？（如果股价回落到一定水平，他将把自己的股份换成购买德本汉姆6.6%的股权）。||3:又或许是他想为抛售运动服饰另寻出路？||4:弗雷泽百货（House of Fraser）已经对阿什利的抢购表示质疑，并表示出售方应把股权优先提供给其他股东。||5:在上世纪八十年代，弗雷泽百货（House of Fraser）曾是两大巨亨商业争夺的对象，最后结果是，垂涎已久的英国巨头蒂尼·罗兰德惜败，埃及投资商默罕默德·法耶德成功收购。||6:这次，弗雷泽百货希望这次的收购能够更加平静的进行。
