"Dead end" nghĩa là gì?

History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.” ― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending (2011). Photo courtesy Robert Couse-Baker.

'Dead end' là ngõ cụt, đường cùng (an end of a road or passage from which no exit is possible; a cul-de-sac); và có thể được dùng để miêu tả một tình huống không có triển vọng hay tiến triển (a situation offering no prospects of progress or development).

Ví dụ
The dead-end lying ahead of Russia.
