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的話，這兩派需要艱苦的談判來制定一個能普遍接受的法案。
Even talks that do not produce a breakthrough can permit useful horsetrading of the sort that makes a conflict a little bit safer.
即便對話沒有產(chǎn)生突破，也應(yīng)該允許能發(fā)揮作用的非觀官方對話，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.
如果這個令人不安的理論是正確的，那么對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談。
