[verb] to make a formal statement saying that a public official is guilty of a serious offence in connection with their job, especially in the US[动词] （尤指在美国）正式声明某公职人员在工作中犯有严重罪行
三、深入解读
impeach一次源自于古法语empêcher，和impede（阻碍）一词同源，又可再追溯到晚期拉丁语impedare（捉住），由im-加上ped（脚）表示给脚戴上镣铐。它常见的用法就是指“弹劾”，即控告公职人员犯下重大罪行。在法律上，impeach也可指“质疑”，如~ sb's motives（质疑某人的动机）。
四、名人用例
I brought myself down. I impeached myself by resigning.我自食其果。我通过辞职弹劾了自己。
