今天我們要學的詞是 sideline.
sideline 的意思是利用間隙,擱置。 U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is not ruling out working-level talks with North Korean officials on the sidelines of ASEAN regional meetings in Thailand this week. 美國國務卿蓬佩奧沒有排除在泰國參加東盟會議期間與朝鮮官員進行工作層面會談的可能性。
Trade talks between the United States and China resumed this week after being sidelined in May, but ended with no conclusion while a long list of big issues still remain. 美中恢復了今年5月被擱置的貿(mào)易談判,但談判沒有結果,仍有一長串重大問題留待解決。
