Hi!
Here's a word to describe a situation where talks come to a grinding halt!
DEADLOCK 行き詰まり
- Deadlock is a situation in which progress in a negotiation cannot be made because neither side will compromise.
In such a situation, we can also say that the two sides are deadlocked. - deadlock は、交渉に参加する両者が、どちらも譲歩しようとしないために、交渉が進展しない状況、つまり、行き詰まりのことです。
このような状況を、 the two sides are deadlocked と言うこともできます。
- After weeks of deadlock, the two sides walked away from the bargaining table in disgust.
- Contract talks have been stalled because of a deadlock over royalty payments.
- The jurors in the trial have reached a deadlock.
- They brought in someone new to mediate and were finally able to break the deadlock that had lasted for months.
- When the negotiator made it clear that his people would not be willing to make any further concessions, the talks ended in deadlock.
- Lawmakers are deadlocked over the controversial alternative energy bill.
Thanks for being here!
