- 1審問、訊問
Interrogation is the questioning itself — the process, the session, the stretch of time in which the questions keep coming. News talks of police interrogation; films show a bright room and a long night. The word keeps the hard edge of : official, often feared, aimed at getting facts. Though actually, older grammar books called a question an interrogation, and a question mark an interrogation mark; you may still meet that in older British school English, but most people now just say question. There is also a technical use, a device's interrogation of a tag or a system, which is simply asking for data. In everyday talk, the police-and-pressure sense is the one meet first.
