今天我們要學(xué)的詞是impediment.
impediment 的意思是障礙。
Justice Clarence Thomas said the “biggest impediment” in his life hadn't been bigots or racists but the “modern-day liberal” in a new documentary set to release next year. 大法官托馬斯在將于明年推出的一個(gè)新的紀(jì)錄片中指出,他一生中的“最大障礙”不是偏執(zhí)狂或種族主義者,而是“現(xiàn)代自由主義者”。
Those who are against the American Electoral College usually argue that it is an impediment to the pure principle of "one man, one vote." 那些反對(duì)美國(guó)選舉人制度的人通常認(rèn)為,這一制度妨礙了“一人一票”的絕對(duì)原則。
