unwanted involvement in others’ affairs
The act of taking part in another person’s life or business when they do not want your help or opinion.
用法模式：
interference in [someone’s] [affairs/business/relationship]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use *interruption* or *disturbance* instead of *interference* for this meaning. Use *interference* when talking about unwanted involvement in decisions or personal matters, and *interruption* when something stops an activity for a short time (e.g. a phone call during a meeting). Also, *intervention* usually suggests trying to help, while *interference* is usually seen as negative or not wanted.
近义词
meddling (More informal and negative; suggests being nosy or annoying in other people’s private matters.)
反义词
noninterference (Stresses deliberately not getting involved in someone else’s affairs.)

something that hinders a process
Something that makes it hard for a process or activity to work well or continue normally.
用法模式：
interference with [a process/activity/operation]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes overuse *problem* instead of *interference*. Use *interference with* when something actively stops or changes how a process works (e.g. *interference with the trial*), not just any difficulty. Also note the preposition: it is usually *interference with* a process, not *interference of*.
近义词
hindrance (A more formal word for something that makes progress or action more difficult.)
反义词
assistance (Emphasizes active help that supports or improves a process instead of blocking it.)

wave interaction causing patterns
In science, what happens when two waves meet and join, making some places bigger or smaller than before.
用法模式：

近义词
superposition (A more general physics term; *interference* is a specific effect of superposed waves showing patterns of reinforcement and cancellation.)
反义词
