grand coalition

基本解釋

With a federal election due by September 2009 each partner in the grand coalition can do little but think of how to win by a margin wide enough to jettison the other.
德國(guó)在2009年九月將進(jìn)行聯(lián)邦選舉，使得大聯(lián)合政府的每一位成員都想著如何才能與對(duì)手拉開(kāi)足夠大的差距以贏得選舉。
But a fresh Merkel government is far more likely to make the attempt if it takes the form of a CDU-FDP (black-yellow) coalition than if it is another grand coalition.
但是，一個(gè)全新的默克爾政府很有可能愿意做些嘗試，只要新政府的聯(lián)合形式是基民盟與自民黨（黑-黃聯(lián)盟），而不是原來(lái)那個(gè)大聯(lián)合政府。
At first, red-red-green seemed the only alternative to a grand coalition.
最初看來(lái)，紅-紅-綠似乎是組成大聯(lián)合政府的唯一選擇。

And I'm not sure that the grand coalition can really push these reforms forward.
