此处的precedent-busting一词是appointments的复合形容词,表示任命是不寻常的并且打破了内阁的期望。将这两个词一起使用并不少见,但在这种情况下,它们效果很好!示例: Having three managers at the store is a precedent-busting occurrence. We used to have only one. (一家商店有三个经理是史无前例的。我们只有一个。) 示例: The town elected its first female mayor! I'd say that's precedent-busting. (The town's first female mayor was elected. It's a break from the traditions of the past.)
