　　7日，中国外交部发表声明，坚决反对美国国防部旨在渲染"中国军事威胁论"的防务评估报告，称中国军队发展并没有对世界造成威胁。
　　China yesterday rejected a Pentagon report that plays up the "China military threat," saying it poses no threat to the world.
　　这句话中"play up"可以解释为emphasize;give special importance to，意思是大肆渲染，反义词是"play down"。如：She played up her experience during the job interview.(在工作面试时她夸大了自己的经验。)
　　另外，这个词组还有"使痛苦，使恼火"的意思，如我们可以说：The class played the new teacher up.(这班学生惹得老师发火。)
