is being influenced by, is under the influence of Explanation: **being backed by** can be positive while this Japanese common expression is often used negatively. In this sentence, it is negatively used too (so is this English I answered here). I always use Online dictionary cited by Tsumura-san. It is not 100% accurate. |
