Question

The foreign spy was imprisoned for two years and then ____ from the country.

a. deported
b. exiled
c. dispersed
d. repelled 答案为A，为何不选B？

Answer 1

exile 指“被迫离开祖国或居住地”, 含有“流放”、“放逐”、“使离乡背井”的意思, 如:
They were exiled for life .
他们被终身流放。
deport 指“驱逐某人离开他所寄居的地方(非其祖国)”, “其原因可能是因其非法进入”, 或“因其做出与其身份不相称的违法行为等”
We deport aliens who slip across our borders.
我们把偷渡入境的外国人驱逐出境。

问题是外国间谍违法了，所以是被政府驱逐的用deported
