词性不同。

例句:

obstruct:
v. 堵塞,阻塞(洞口、通道、道路等);遮住,挡住(视线);阻碍,妨碍
例句:

在用法上是一样的,These obstructions could take some weeks to clear from these c***s.These obstacles could take some weeks to clear from these c***s.
"Obstacle" 和 "obstruct" 都有阻碍、妨碍的意思,但它们的用法和含义略有不同。
"Obstacle" 是指任何阻碍或妨碍前进、进展或达成目标的事物,可以是具体的物体、障碍或困难等。例如,"the road was blocked by an obstacle",意思是 "道路被障碍物堵住了"。
"Obstruct" 则更加强调行为,是指有意或无意地阻碍或妨碍某事的发生或进行。例如,"the construction work is obstructing the flow of traffic",意思是 "施工阻碍了交通流动"。
因此,"obstacle" 更多地指代实际存在的障碍物,而"obstruct" 则强调某个行为或动作对于某事的妨碍或阻碍。
obstacle =obst +acle ,
obstruct =obst +ruct ,这就是它们的区别。
