beleaguerment

beleaguerment

1. Attacks there can provoke a backlash, feeding a sense of Muslim beleaguerment for al-Qaeda to exploit.

在这些地区发动袭击可以引发敌对性反应，灌输穆斯林被围困的感觉让基地组织有机可乘。

2. I was aware, of course, of the pervasive sense of beleaguerment that resulted from a combination of the President's personality and the violent, occasionally extralegal assault of the antiwar critics.

由于总统本人的个性，再加上反战分子发动的猛烈的，有时甚至是违法的攻击，造成了一种四面受敌的气氛。对于这一点，我当然是了解的。
