Ví dụ
Could a Challenging Job Buy Time for Those with Dementia?
The Bank of Japan's (BOJ) surprise decision to push back the date for achieving its two percent inflation target may signal the central bank is trying to buy time before admitting it needs to easing monetary policy again.
As the violence continued into its second week, many of the G-8 leaders who started out supportive of Israel called for a ceasefire (lệnh ngừng bắn). I didn’t join. A ceasefire might provide short-term relief (giảm nhẹ), but it wouldn’t resolve (giải quyết) the root cause of the conflict. If a well-armed Hezbollah continued to threaten Israel from southern Lebanon, it would be only a matter of time before the fighting flared (nổ súng) again. I wanted to buy time for Israel to weaken Hezbollah’s forces. I also wanted to send a message to Iran and Syria: They would not be allowed to use terrorist organizations as proxy armies (quân đội ủy nhiệm) to attack democracies with impunity (không bị trừng phạt).
