- 1封鎖線、警戒線
A cordon is a line of police officers, soldiers, or vehicles placed around a place to keep people out — or sometimes to keep people in. After a crash, a fire, or a crime, the police may put a cordon around the street. The usual verb is to cordon something off: they cordoned off the square. The ring can be made of people, cars, tape, or a mix; what matters is the closed line, not what it is made of. It is a news word, a bit formal. An officer in the street might just say stay back. The paper will say a police cordon. The word comes from an old French word for a small cord, sitting in the same family as English cord — a thin line that hems something in.

來自古法文 cordon，是 corde「繩子」的小稱，原指小繩、緞帶。
