例句：Even though wind power is clean and does not produce any greenhouse gases, pressure groups are determined to prevent its spread. { 例句出处：《剑桥BEC高级真题集第一辑：P38》}

翻译：尽管风能很洁净，也不产生温室气体，利益团体仍然决定阻止它的延展。

注解：Pressure groups，是自由民主国家的特有产物，它能够给执政与立法进行施压，而“天朝”小至居委会，大到妇联，都只是形式上为民请命，根本没有能耐向政府施压。所以暂且将它翻译为利益集团好了。
