"Hang in the balance" = (bấp bênh) ở trên cân (ko ngả hẳn về phía nào) -> trạng thái bất định, không ai biết chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra.

Ví dụ
World leaders are meeting to discuss the situation, with peace in the region hanging in the balance.

Sen. (thượng nghị sĩ) Elizabeth Warren released a plan on Thursday aimed at protecting the rights of LGBTQ Americans, many of whose livelihoods (nghề nghiệp) hang in the balance as they await the Supreme Court’s decision in three landmark (cột mốc) discrimination (kỳ thị) cases.

Yet despite the severity (nghiêm trọng, gay go) and amount of wounds suffered by both Boeing and Muilenburg (who the company’s board of directors stripped of (cách chức) his chairman role on Oct. 11), none of the bad news seems to have been fatal to the company's brand. The next few months, however, will be critical—and both Boeing and its CEO's futures hang in the balance. Can the company smoothly get the 737 MAX back into the sky? And can the airplane maker and airlines get passengers back into seats?
