buy a house on time

基本解釋

An even shorter-term solution to buy the chambers more time for a compromise may be off of the table, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said on Thursday.
一個(gè)爲(wèi)議院贏得更多時(shí)間妥協(xié)的更短期的方案可能會(huì)被否決，衆(zhòng)議院發(fā)言人博納（John Boehner）周二說。
The deal includes a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government into next week to buy time for the House — whose members are on recess this week — to approve the deal.
因爲(wèi)此刻衆(zhòng)議院的議員都在休假，不能批準(zhǔn)通過該議案，所以該議案還包括一項(xiàng)短期的決議，該決議的內(nèi)容爲(wèi)“爲(wèi)政府繼續(xù)注資直至下周”，這就爲(wèi)衆(zhòng)議院爭取到了時(shí)間。
