可以留意这条新闻“Women make highly competent leaders, and what’s holding them back is not lack of capability but a dearth of opportunity.”（女性可以成为非常称职的领导者，阻碍她们的不是缺乏能力，而是缺乏机会）。

“competent”指的就是“足以胜任的、有能力的、称职的”，同源于常见词“compete”（竞争、对抗），可以放在一起记忆。

“hold back”可以作“阻碍、阻挡、妨碍进展”来理解。

Peeples and Tiura first realized their investment property was occupied by squatters when they sent a handyman in March to make repairs ahead of a home inspection for selling it.
"We had an interested buyer, but the repairman we sent ahead of an inspection said that when he arrived there was a pitbull with puppies on the sun porch," Tiura told Fox News. "This was only 48 hours after showing it to the interested buyer."
The squatters were two women in a relationship who moved into the home with two toddlers and a pitbull that had several puppies.
Peeples and Tiura lost the offer on the house once the squatter issue arose, and they had to remove the house’s listing because they were legally not allowed to show it.
