deportee(名词):被驱逐出境者;被遣返者(尤指被政府强制送离某国的人)。在某些语境中也可指被流放的人。
/ˌdiːpɔːrˈtiː/

After months of legal appeals, he became a deportee and was returned to a country he barely remembered.
经过数月的法律申诉后,他最终成了被驱逐出境者,被送回一个几乎已经记不清的国家。
deportee 来自动词 deport(驱逐出境、遣返),而 deport 源于拉丁语 deportare,意为“带走、运走”(de- “离开” + portare “携带”)。后缀 -ee 常表示“动作的承受者”(如 employee “雇员”、refugee “难民”),因此 deportee 指“被驱逐/被遣返的人”。
