今天我們要學的詞是 afoul.

afoul 的意思是起沖突，起沖撞，常見的用法是run afoul of。 Some Canadian politicians think their country should diversify its alliances with other powers given that Canada's handling of Huawei's CFO's extradition will run afoul of either Washington or Beijing. 一些加拿大政客認為，鑒于加拿大對引渡華為首席財務官的處理將不是與華盛頓就是與北京發生沖突，加拿大應該與其他多個大國聯盟。

Brunei's government started implementing its revised penal code that international human rights observers say is very easy to fall afoul of because it is so broad. 文萊政府開始實施新修訂的刑法，國際人權觀察家認為該法涵蓋過于廣泛，以至很容易觸犯。
