n.调查；审查；(罗马天主教的)宗教法庭
The police are following several lines of inquisition. 警方正沿几条线索进行调查。
I was subjected to a lengthy inquisition into the state of my bank balance. 有关方面就我的银行存款余额对我进行了详细的调查。
I was subjected to a lengthy inquisition by the tax inspector. 我受到税务稽查员长时间的查问。
The Inquisition of the Medieval Ages devised many demoniac means of torture. 中世纪的宗教法庭创造了许多骇人听闻的酷刑。
There was no longer any question about the doom the Inquisition had prepared for me. 对宗教法庭给我安排好的归宿已经不再有任何疑问了。
