Though actually, many students meet lockout first in another life: being locked out of an email or a game account. That is a later, looser use. The older, core meaning in a ’s dictionary is the labour fight.
Though actually不過事實上，many students很多學生 meet lockout first第一次遇到lockout這個字 in another life是在另一種情境裡：being locked out of an email or a game account被鎖在自己的email或遊戲帳號外面。That那 is a later, looser use是比較後來、比較鬆散的用法。The older, core meaning比較舊、比較核心的意思 in a learner's dictionary在學習型字典裡 is the labour fight是勞資之間的這場鬥爭。
