"Call off" nghĩa là gì?

'Call off' nghĩa là đình lại, hoãn lại; ngoài ra còn có nghĩa là gọi ra chỗ khác (please call off your dog), hay làm lãng đi (to call off one's attention).

Ví dụ
Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge call off their engagement.
Call off strike or face action, FTII students told.
Villagers call off economic blockade.

Dive teams call off search for man who may have jumped off Marion County bridge.

Manmohan Singh wanted to call off Nuclear deal after US’ killer proposals.

Yet where factions within a state adhere to different concepts of world order or consider themselves in an existential struggle for survival, American demands to call off the fight and assemble a democratic coalition government tend either to paralyze the incumbent government (as in the Shah’s Iran) or to fall on deaf ears (the Egyptian government led by General Sisi — now heeding the lessons of its predecessors’ overthrow by tacking away from a historic American alliance in favor of greater freedom of maneuver).
