日本語の質問ですが・・・ (I have a Japanese question...)
日本語の言葉「絞る」または「搾り取る」が英語で ”exploit"
の意味があります。

英語例文： She exploited him for his talents.

日本語にどうやって直しますか? （翻訳）

「オレンジを絞る」ぐらいの使い方分りますが、”ｅｘｐｌｏｉｔ”　の使い方がちょっと意味不です。

よろしくお願いします。

I understand that one meaning of the word「絞る」ＯＲ「搾り取る」 is "exploit" But I don't understand how to make the sentence. Am I lost in context?

Because I feel like I am just saying some thing like "I am squeezing the orange (for juice)"

Thank you.Taiji,

Thank you very much for your answer.
I really appreciate it.

But it leaves me with another question.

In the translation sentence you gave, you said:
“彼女は彼の才能を食い物にした”

But why did you use "食い物" instead of ”搾取”

Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude, but now that I am getting the idea of usage, I am just trying to understand the "best (most commonly used)" Japanese equivalent to the English word "exploit"

Thank you.

Answer

OK, a friend explained to me your answer.
Thank you so much, I got it!

Answer

“She exploited him for his talents” is “彼女は彼の才能を食い物にした”

The other examples of the words are お金を搾り取る (take almost all the money against his/her will) and 知恵をしぼる (try very hard to come up with a new idea)
