猖獗

較早時，國家主席胡錦濤說猖獗的貪污問題正在損害黨的權威。英文報章的標題是Hu says rampant graft is eroding party authority。他說貪污在一些地方仍然猖獗，Corruption is still rampant in some areas。在內地，打擊猖獗的翻版電影、藥物和其他產品之戰，已經從後巷和行人路搬到會議室和實驗室，The war against rampant counterfeit movies, drugs and other products is moving from China's back alleys and sidewalks into boardroom and laboratories。Rampant 是「猖獗、控制不住」的意思，它是形容詞。

其他例子：Abuse of power among senior officials is said to be rampant是「高級官員濫權的情況據說很猖獗」，公安部日前說，現時最重要的問題是非法販運炸藥以及較猖獗的涉及軍火和彈藥的活動At present the most important problems are the illegal trafficking in explosives and the relatively rampant activities involving arms and ammunition。
