militate against 點解?

militate against係解 [對...產生不利影響]。如果你只要 [對...有影響] 單用militate就ok，因為你一加 against就等於加咗 [不] 嘅負面意思。
例如:
The invisible powers of heaven seemed to militate on the side of the pious emperor.
來自天堂的無形力量似乎只在影響著虔誠帝皇的一方。

militate against 意思是阻礙,影響.但一定要加against.例句:The bad weather militated against the planned outing. Fashion industry militates against the real beauty.Politeness militated against this opinion being expressed. 惡劣天氣影響了外出計劃.時裝工業扼殺了真正的美麗.緊記militate 後面一定要加against,外國人慣用,不要問點解.
