'Come to a standstill' có nghĩa là ngừng lại, dùng lại. Ngoài ra nó cũng dùng với nghĩa 'đi vào chỗ bế tắc.'
Ví dụ
Roads have come to a standstill as participants (người tham gia) made their way through the city today (May 1).
As a city surrounded (bao quanh) by water, Seattle would probably come to a standstill if it weren’t for its ferry (phà) service, which is open to both passengers (hành khách) and motor vehicles. At all hours of the day, ferries crisscross the Puget Sound carrying passengers from the Bainbridge Island and Seattle harbors to nearly two dozen ports of call in between.
The "23.9 per cent cap" is also interesting. It's arbitrary (tùy tiện, tùy hứng), invented (nghĩ ra) by politicians (chính trị gia). Just like the US "debt ceiling" (trần nợ công), which sees the US Government semi-regularly come to a standstill.
While road traffic must come to a standstill for airplanes in Gibraltar, landings at Gisborne Airport on the eastern edge of New Zealand’s North Island must be coordinated with the national rail service which runs the Palmerston North–Gisborne Line directly across the one main paved (lát đá) and three grass runways.
