Learner's definition of COMMANDEER
[+ object] formal
: to take (something, such as a vehicle or building) by force especially for military purposes（尤指因军事目的）强征，强占
- The soldiers commandeered civilian vehicles to help transport the injured.士兵们强征民用车辆帮助运送伤员。
Did you know?
Military forces have always had the power to commandeer houses. The Declaration of Independence complains about the way the British soldiers have done it, and the third Amendment to the Constitution states that the commandeering of people's houses shall be done only in a way prescribed by law. Almost anything—food, supplies, livestock, etc.—can be militarily commandeered when the need arises. But you don't have to be in the military for someone to "pull rank" on you: Your father may commandeer the car just when you were about to take it out for the evening, your teacher may commandeer your cell phone as you're texting in the middle of class, or your older sister may commandeer the TV remote to watch some lousy dancing competition.
Example Sentences
