Question

coercion n.强迫；威压；高压政治 (1) 超级大国靠强迫手段得到了他们想要的东西。(2) 毛派最终能凭多票当选，也许与他们的高压政治与胁迫力量有某些关系。 Coercion can be a threat, "The shady lawyer uses coercion when he threatens to get the waiter fired if he doesn't rat out his boss," or it can be actual brute force, as when the gangster breaks the messenger's leg to keep her from talking to the police. The police might use coercion, too, to get a confession. The prefix co- is derived from the Latin word for "together." So you can't use coercion on yourself; you need someone else to force into doing something.
