点睛
frustrate意为“使沮丧，使挫败”。devote...to doing sth. 意为“把……用于做某事，致力于做某事”。fight back against意为“奋力抵抗，还击”，其后的宾语即为抵抗的对象，同时也往往是听音的重点。也可以只说fight back，表示“还击，抵抗;抑制”。如：
1) Victims of discrimination often don't have the power to fight back. 歧视现象的受害者通常无力还击。
2) She fought back her disgust. 她强忍住心里的厌恶。
polluter意为“污染源，污染者”。
