n.調(diào)查；審查；(羅馬天主教的)宗教法庭

The police are following several lines of inquisition. 警方正沿幾條線索進(jìn)行調(diào)查。

I was subjected to a lengthy inquisition into the state of my bank balance. 有關(guān)方面就我的銀行存款余額對我進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的調(diào)查。

I was subjected to a lengthy inquisition by the tax inspector. 我受到稅務(wù)稽查員長時間的查問。

The Inquisition of the Medieval Ages devised many demoniac means of torture. 中世紀(jì)的宗教法庭創(chuàng)造了許多駭人聽聞的酷刑。

There was no longer any question about the doom the Inquisition had prepared for me. 對宗教法庭給我安排好的歸宿已經(jīng)不再有任何疑問了。
