遊說

很多時，某些人或團體會遊說其他人或政府採取或改變某項決定。

例如李柱銘和余若薇曾極力遊說二十五名支持民主的立法會議員與陳太站在同一陣線，Veteran Democratic Party leader and former chairman Martin Lee Chu- ming and Civic Party leader and lawmaker Audrey Eu Yuetmei have lobbied hard for a concerted line-up with the 25 pro-democracy lawmakers and Chan。歐洲方面，雖然電訊業強烈遊說，歐盟準備逼使營辦商把無線電話漫遊費用降低。Despite a fierce lobbying campaign by the telecoms industry, the European Commission is poised to force operators to slash the cost of mobile phone calls while abroad, officials say。Lobby 是「遊說」的意思，它是動詞。

其他例子：The group has been lobbying for gun controls for years，是「該團體多年來一直在遊說槍械管制」，Motorists lobbied the government to take action on petrol prices，是「駕駛人士遊說政府就電油價格採取行動」。
