Bounty Hunter
bounty指“奖励金,赏金”, Bounty hunter顾名思义就是“追逐奖赏的人”,其真正意思是指“为领取悬赏而情愿充当杀手的人,一般都是玩命之徒”。
例如:He did not tell her that he earned his living as abounty hunter.
他没有告诉她自己靠当杀手为生。
而bounty hunter的这种行为就叫做bounty hunt,如:
He agrees to go on a bounty hunt for two cowboys who knife a prostitute in the town of BigWhiskey.
两个牛仔在大威士忌城捅死了一名妓女,他同意捕杀那两名牛仔,从而得到奖赏
