今天我們要學(xué)的詞是stalemate. Stalemate, 僵局。由于美國國會兩黨無法就預(yù)算達(dá)成統(tǒng)一,美國政府陷入停滯狀態(tài)。不過,The budget stalemate put 800,000 government workers out of a job. 預(yù)算僵局使得80萬政府雇員都暫時失業(yè)。然而由于民主共和兩黨都毫不退讓,The next step in resolving the stalemate remained unclear. 如何化解預(yù)算僵局的方法仍不明確。前美國財政部辦公廳主任馬克-帕特森說:If the political stalemate impedes an agreement on raising the debt ceiling, it could send the U.S. economy back into a recession. 如果政治僵局使得華盛頓無法就提高借債上限達(dá)成一致,美國經(jīng)濟(jì)可能再次陷入衰退。好的,今天我們學(xué)習(xí)的詞是stalemate, stalemate, stalemate.
