今天我们要学的词是 fringe.

fringe 的意思是边缘的，外围的。 Over the past two weeks, South Korea has found over 5,000 cases of coronavirus, of which more than half have been linked to a fringe religious group in South Korea. 韩国过去两周来出现了5,000多个冠状病毒感染病例，其中一半以上与韩国的一个边缘化的宗教团体有关。

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said in a recent interview that he believed the Democrat Party had descended into a radical embrace of socialism - it is no longer a fringe phenomenon. 美国众议院少数党领袖麦卡锡在最近的一次采访中说，他相信民主党已经沦落到对社会主义极力推崇，这已不再是一种边缘现象。
