Synopsis

When things (illness, bad weather, or even self-sabotage) prevent us from meeting our aims, 妨 helps us express that! Learn to say, "The noise disturbed his sleep," "His arrogance stood in the way of success," "Heavy rain blocked their way," "The accident held up traffic," "Fog prevented planes from taking off," "He interrupted our conversation," and "This building obstructs the view."
