Goad：驅(qū)使，煽動

11月9日，駐伊美軍海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊士兵在費盧杰郊外向城內(nèi)開炮，并和伊拉克軍隊一起與反美武裝人員在費盧杰城內(nèi)激烈交火，目前美軍正縮小對費盧杰的包圍圈。外電報道如下：U.S. troops powered their way into the center of the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah on Tuesday, overwhelming small bands of guerrillas with massive force, searching homes along the city's deserted, narrow passageways and using loudspeakers to try to goad militants onto the streets.

Goad表示“（用刺棒）驅(qū)趕，驅(qū)使，煽動”，常和on/into連用。例如：He was goaded on to study harder.（他被驅(qū)使更加努力地學(xué)習(xí)。）They goaded him into entering the pitch dark basement by saying he was a coward.（他們說他是個膽小鬼，從而煽動他走進(jìn)了漆黑的地下室。）
