题目问发言人所说的氢弹可以起到威慑效果是指氢弹
文章提到deterrent effect是在第二个问答中。问话者对氢弹的致命性表示了担忧,而发言人认为氢弹本身不会杀人,人才会杀人,并指出氢弹是自卫武器,同时具有威慑效果。在此之后的句子是发言人举出的一个例子,用来说明什么是威慑效果。If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, theyre going to think twice about breaking in前半句很好理解:如果有人知道你的房子里有一件核武器。Think twice,思考两次,与汉语里的思考再三类似,表示人犹豫不决,考虑再三无法下定决心,在这里就是指闯入者犹豫不决,始终不敢进入有核武器的房子。这的确可以说是一种威慑效果。
