Kidnapper：拐子、 綁匪

廣受媒體關(guān)注的英國人質(zhì)比格利29日出現(xiàn)在卡塔爾半島電視臺播放的畫面上，他再次呼吁英國首相布萊爾滿足綁架者的要求，釋放被關(guān)押的伊拉克女囚犯。英國外交大臣承認救人希望渺茫。外電報道如下：Kenneth Bigley, 62, appeared on the tape chained and squatting in a cage, pleading to the prime minister for help while accusing him of lying over the hostage crisis.Blair has said repeatedly he will not negotiate with the kidnappers, who demand release of women prisoners held in Iraq. kidnapper的意思是“拐子、 綁匪”。例如：The boy's kidnappers demanded an enormous ransom.（綁架男孩的歹徒索要一大筆贖金）。它的動詞形式是kidnap，其近義詞是abduct。
