能看懂下面這句話嗎?
The politician's speech was full of hyperbole, using iconoclastic language to attack the ideological beliefs of his opponents and accuse them of idolatry, but his opinions remained as immutable as an igneous rock.
1 hyperbole /ha??p??rb?li/ 夸張法、夸張的說(shuō)法

2 iconoclastic /a??kɑ?n??kl?st?k/ 反偶像崇拜的

5 igneous /??ɡni?s/ 火的

這位政治家的演講充滿了夸張,用打破傳統(tǒng)的語(yǔ)言攻擊對(duì)手的意識(shí)形態(tài)信仰,指責(zé)他們崇拜偶像,但他的觀點(diǎn)卻仍像火成巖一樣一成不變。
