今天我们要学的词是 mired.
Mired 的意思是陷入泥潭，深陷。 Senate Appropriations Committee has abandoned plans to mark up two spending bills that have become mired in a partisan dispute over abortion policy. 参议院拨款委员会已经放弃了修订两项支出法案的计划，这两项法案已经深陷有关堕胎政策的党派争端中。
Securing the U.S. southwest border alone won’t bring about a long-term solution to the border crisis if countries to the south remain mired in chaos and ruled by a corrupt elite. 如果美国边境以南的国家一直深陷混乱和腐败精英的统治，那么仅仅保护美国西南边境不能长期解决边境危机。
