With surging obesity levels putting increasing strain on public health systems, governments around the world have begun to toy with the idea of taxing sugar as wells
此处的toy with 的意思是?网上的意思是不太认真地考虑,可感觉这里仿佛不是这种含义?
在toy with the idea of doing sth. 这个结构中,toy with 的意思是“[一般指短暂且不非常认真地]考虑”。比如:
Ive been toying with the idea of going to Japan to visit them. 我近期有个念头,想去日本看看他们。(摘自《朗文当代高级英语辞典》第六版)
I toyed withthe idea of joining the club.我漫不经心地盘算着加入那个会所的事。
