1. (故事或其標注)警戒的，警世的 A cautionary story or a cautionary note to a story is one that is intended to give a warning to people.
e.g. Barely fifteen months later, it has become a cautionary tale of the pitfalls of international mergers and acquisitions... 不過(guò)15個(gè)月，它就成了告誡人們留心跨國并購中陷阱的警世故事。 e.g. An editorial in The Times sounds a cautionary note. 《泰晤士報》的一篇社論讀起來(lái)頗有警誡意味。
