今天我们要学的词是 tenable.

tenable 的意思是站得住脚的,说得过去的。 The Queen is believed to agree that it is no longer tenable for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to use the word “royal” in their “branding” when they seek commercial opportunities instead of carrying out official duties. 据信英国女王认为哈里王子和梅根在寻求商业机会而非承担皇室公务时,他们在广告中使用“皇家”一词已经说不过去。

The Premier of New South Wales Gladys Berejiklian says the status quo is “no longer tenable” in the state’s education system and has flagged reforms that will compel public schools to use approved teaching methods. (澳大利亚)新南威尔士州州长贝瑞吉克莲表示,该州教育系统的现状“不能维持”,并提到了公立学校必须使用批准的教学方法的改革。
