今天我们要学的词是 impetus.

Impetus 的意思是原动力。 Turkey's EU membership bid was initially the impetus for Ankara improving relations with EU member Greece. 土耳其申请加入欧盟的最初动力是安卡拉希望改善与欧盟成员国希腊的关系。

French President Emmanuel Macron published a newspaper column, calling for protecting and defending Europe's citizens while giving the bloc new impetus in the face of global competition. 法国总统马克龙在报纸上发表专栏文章，呼吁保护和捍卫欧洲的公民，同时给予欧盟应对全球竞争的新的推动力。
