第39届海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会(海合会)首脑会议周日在沙特阿拉伯首都利雅得举行，受到邀请的卡塔尔埃米尔塔米姆未出席峰会。

The Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) annual summit opened in Riyadh on Sunday, with regional unity imperiled by a bitter row between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which is mired in a diplomatic crisis over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The one-day annual gathering of leaders from the six member states is expected to focus on security issues, including the Yemen war and Iran’s regional activities, and may touch on oil politics and a protracted boycott of Qatar by some neighbors.

报道中的be mired in就是“处于 ... 困境中”。Mire也可以作名词，是“泥沼”的意思，作动词就是“陷入泥坑”。例如：

A good politician today could be mired in lifelong scandal tomorrow.

今天一个名声不错的政客明天可能就陷入终身丑闻。
