horsetrading

基本解釋

After both chambers pass bills, the two get together for horsetrading to produce a common bill.
如果參眾兩院要讓立法通過(guò)的話，這兩派需要艱苦的談判來(lái)制定一個(gè)能普遍接受的法案。
Even talks that do not produce a breakthrough can permit useful horsetrading of the sort that makes a conflict a little bit safer.
即便對(duì)話沒(méi)有產(chǎn)生突破，也應(yīng)該允許能發(fā)揮作用的非觀官方對(duì)話，這樣也能使沖突較為安全。
If this gloomier theory is right, the best that talking will achieve is not a breakthrough but some horsetrading on the side.
如果這個(gè)令人不安的理論是正確的，那么對(duì)話所能取得的最好成果不是什么突破而是另外促成有成效的會(huì)談。
