11月9日，驻伊美军海军陆战队士兵在费卢杰郊外向城内开炮，并和伊拉克军队一起与反美武装人员在费卢杰城内激烈交火，目前美军正缩小对费卢杰的包围圈。外电报道如下：U.S. troops powered their way into the center of the insurgent¹ stronghold of Fallujah on Tuesday, overwhelming small bands of guerrillas with massive force, searching homes along the city's deserted², narrow passageways and using loudspeakers to try to goad³ militants⁴ onto the streets.

Goad表示“（用刺棒）驱赶，驱使，煽动”，常和on/into连用。例如：He was goaded⁵ on to study harder.（他被驱使更加努力地学习。）They goaded him into entering the pitch dark basement by saying he was a coward.（他们说他是个胆小鬼，从而煽动他走进了漆黑的地下室。）
