今天我們要學的詞是 fizzle. fizzle is spelled f-i-z-z-l-e, fizzle.

fizzle 的原意是漸弱的嘶嘶聲，引申出來就是逐漸消失，悄悄失敗。Venezuela’s opposition leader Juan Guaido called for the military to join him and oust dictator Nicolas Maduro, but the coup appeared to have fizzled a day later. 委內瑞拉反對派領導人胡安-瓜伊多呼籲軍隊與他一起將獨裁者馬杜羅趕走，但政變似乎在一天之後失敗了。

As RussiaGate fizzles with the release of the Robert Mueller report and the lack of collusion-related indictments, some started questioning the motives of the investigation. 通俄門指控隨著穆勒調查報告的公佈以及沒有提出與俄羅斯勾結的相關起訴而不了了之，有人開始質疑啟動調查的動機。
