今天我們要學的詞是 tyranny.

tyranny 的意思是專制統治，暴政。In the heated gun-ownership debate, some people don't realize that the 2nd Amendment isn't about sport shooting or even self-defense, it was designed to prevent government tyranny. 在有關擁槍問題的激烈辯論中，有些人沒有意識到美國第二修正案不是為了保護狩獵甚至自衛的權利，而是為了防止政府的暴政。

President Trump's national security adviser John Bolton describes the Venezuelan left-wing government of Nicolas Maduro as part of "the troika of tyranny" in the Americas, alongside Cuba and Nicaragua. 特朗普總統的國家安全顧問博爾頓將委內瑞拉的馬杜羅左翼政權形容為美洲與古巴和尼加拉瓜“并駕齊驅的三個暴政”之一。
