今天我們要學的詞是 stymie.

stymie 是動詞，意思是妨礙，阻礙。 The Maldives new president's agenda has been stymied because some of his party's allies in a governing coalition are aligned with the former leader who has been widely accused of corruption. 馬爾代夫新總統的議程受到阻礙，原因是他的黨派在執政聯盟中的一些盟友與受到大量腐敗指控的前領導人保持一致。

Some Democrat law makers charge that President Trump's shrinking budget for the State Department would undermine U.S. leadership and stymie worldwide efforts to counter extremism, terrorism and disinformation. 一些民主黨議員指責特朗普總統縮減國務院預算將破壞美國的領導地位，阻礙全球打擊極端主義、恐怖主義和虛假信息的努力。
