一分钟学英语｜stumbling block-绊脚石

Stumbling /'stʌmbliŋ/ block, 意思是障碍物，绊脚石。

例句：

If there's any possibility of working overtime, we're going to have to get a change in our contract. As it is, we aren't allowed to put in more than 40 hours per week. That rule remains a stumbling block. Let's discuss a strategy for dealing with it at our next union meeting.

要想有加班的可能性，我们就必需修改合同。按照目前的规定，我们每星期的工作量不得超过四十个小时。这项规定是我们的绊脚石。咱们下次工会开会的时候，可以讨论采取什么样的策略，解决这个问题。
