死硬派 (Diehard)

有關公眾地方禁止吸煙的法例，政府官員說即使三大政黨的議員支持禁煙，但由於有一些死硬派反對者，政府對於是否繼續推行一直遲疑不決。Even though the ban could have gone through with support from the legislators of three major political parties, officials have been hesitant about pushing ahead because of a few die-hard opponents。負責執行禁煙的前線人員已經要求警方協助他們，應付頑固的吸煙人士的暴力行為。Frontlines officers responsible for enforcing the smoking ban have asked for police assistance to help them prepare for possible violence from diehard smokers。

Diehard 是「死硬派、頑固分子」的意思。其他例子：He would not join the union, he's a real diehard 是「他不會參加工會，他是個真正死硬分子」，With the exception of a few diehards, the committee welcomed the proposals for reform 是「除了幾個死硬分子，委員會很歡迎那些改革的建議」。
