One of them climbed aboard a soapbox and began informing the locals why gays should be allowed in the military. 他們其中的一個人登上了小講台，開始跟儅地人講爲什麽同性戀者應該被允許征召入伍。

2. N-COUNT If you say that someone is on their soapbox, you mean that they are speaking or writing about something they have strong feelings about. 極有感觸之事

We were interested in pushing forward certain issues and getting up on our soapbox about them. 我們對推動某些問題的進展十分關注，很想就此發表我們的意見。
