    今天的一则新闻
    Argentina's former president Cristina Fernandez accused the government of political persecution on Wednesday after testifying in court about alleged irregularities at the central bank that occurred under her watch.

    有人说是watch是“岗位”,并以例子做证:

    I'm responsible for handling the problems that occur on my watch.
    我负责处理出现在我岗位上的问题。

    我查了好象都没有词典有此解释

    应该是supervision, charge, management的意思吧?

    Donald Trump Gloats Miss Universe Debacle Wouldn’t Happen Under His Watch

    This notion that under his watch this Justice Department has been politicized is totally inconsistent with the facts.

    Indeed, under Cochran's watch, the fire department's public protection classification was raised to first in class,...

    And yet it is Putin himself, notwithstanding his high levels of support, who poses the greatest danger to Russia by pursuing policies against Ukraine that have led to Russia’s isolation as a pariah state; by failing to diversify Russia’s economy (a problem that became clear with the significant decline in the price of oil); and by insisting on increases in defense spending at a time when the country cannot afford them. Under Putin’s watch, Russia’s economy is in deep crisis: by the end of 2014, the value of the ruble dropped by roughly half, capital flight was more than twice that of 2013, inflation and interest rates were up, and hard currency reserves had fallen below $400 billion.

    查遍高阶学习词典的watch词条,只有韦氏高阶和朗文美语高阶词典有个明确的解释,under one's watch 估计一个意思。看来以后学美式英语,韦氏和朗文美式词典是首选。

    on somebody’s watch
    informal during the time that someone is responsible for a government, organization, etc.:
     The company had failed on his watch.

    这个即便是N年前的牛津双解7和朗文双解4也是有解释的,就是“值班(时间,期间)!所以说学会查词典绝对是一门技术活!
