Blatant Maneuver：首先请注意这个词美式与英式的写法不一样，美式：Maneuver，英式：manoeuvre，据剑桥词典符合本段话意的解释：
Blatant：obvious or intentional, and done without worry about what others think.（明显的、公然的、有意的）
Maneuver：a cleverly planned action that is intended to get an advantage. （以赢得某种优势而精心谋划的行动）
以不正当或有违公平的手段达成自己的目的，而且通常情况下会损害他人的声誉及利益。 以下是关于“Maneuver”的情景举例：
比如：暗地里巴结贿赂领导，将本该属于大家的利益或机会独缆到自己的名下。暗地里、趋人不备给人挖坑或制造事端，在职场或仕途上阻碍竞争对手的发展。
再比如：明明自己有了男朋友，当发现闺蜜的那个更出众，吃着碗里看着锅里的，一方面借助闺蜜的身份耍手腕吸引男方注意，另一方面暗地里给人穿小鞋、泼冷水败坏闺蜜在其男友心目中的形象。
这个词组翻译过来的意思是：明目张胆（公然）的耍心机/施诡计。上面的两个例子都是指背地里操纵局势，而明目张胆的耍心机：
E.G.1：The Chinese government was furious with the blatant maneuver of Mike Pompeo and warned of action after he stated that Taiwan has not been a part of China.
E.G.2：Edies’ emphasis upon Bango barking against Susan as well as her unfortunate marriage is a pretty blatant maneuver aimed at discrediting the positions of her formidable opponent.
