基本释义
[verb] to become weaker or less effective
[动词] 变得较弱或不太有效
深入解读
Falter 本义指在行走方面“蹒跚、踉跄、站不稳、摇晃”，以及在言语方面“嗓音颤抖、吞吞吐吐、支吾其词”。这两个含义概括起来就是走路不稳和说话不稳，暗示走路或者说话的人缺乏自信。
当人不自信时，就容易畏缩不前，因而 falter 还可以用来表示“动摇、畏缩、犹豫”。畏缩不前的不只有人，还有事物发展的处境局势，这也可以用 falter 来引申表达，即“摇摇欲坠”或“衰退、衰落”。
名人用例
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
胆小的人可以逃跑，但危机往往由具有高贵胆识的人解决。
