今天我們要學的詞是 lag.

lag的意思是落后，滯后。 In conservative Pakistan, women's sports still lag far behind those of their male counterparts, which prompts women who enjoy sports to push the boundaries and demand change. 在社會保守的巴基斯坦，女子體育運動仍然遠遠落后于男子，這促使那些喜歡體育運動的女性努力打破藩籬，要求變革。

African-American voters back Medicare for All more than other groups, polls show, but the policy's two chief proponents, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren continue to lag well behind Joe Biden with these voters. 民調顯示，非洲裔美國人選民比其他族裔團體更支持全民健保，但這一政策的兩個主要推動者、參議員桑德斯和沃倫在這些選民中的支持率仍遠遠落后于拜登。
