今天我們要學的詞是 buttress.

Buttress 的意思是支持。 The Trump administration's pressure against China is going strong, buttressed by a dramatic shift in opinion among the foreign-policy community, now increasingly critical of Beijing. 特朗普政府加大對中國的壓力，與之相應的是外交政策圈的觀點發生巨大變化，對北京的批評越發強烈。

Russia has launched a social media-based information campaign to buttress it claims of innocence as well as to press its accusations that Britain is in the grip of Russophobia, say Western analysts. 西方分析家表示，俄羅斯發起了社交媒體宣傳攻勢，為其清白無辜的說法提供支持，并指責英國陷入俄羅斯恐懼癥。
