"Run into a brick wall" = Lao vào bức tường gạch -> Chống lại sự khó khăn/thách thức bất di bất dịch và không thể vượt qua được.
Ví dụ
“We run into a brick wall all the time. Because of their home rule charter (hiến chương), we are limited on what we as legislators (người lập pháp) can do with the county.”.
Taken together with the bitter feuds (mối hận thù cay đắng) between some of the EAC members, and recent data showing that intra-Africa trade has flatlined, although its trade with other regions in Africa has increased, it gives the impression that the East African integration (hội nhập) project has run into a brick wall.
Brian Abraham, Justice’s general counsel and chairman of the SBA board, stressed the mid-fiscal-year (giữa năm công khố, tài chính) cut isn’t guaranteed to happen. “Those scenarios (kịch bản) are still being played out, so all there is now is planning — and prudent (thận trọng) planning,” he said. “You don’t just go on gleefully (vui sướng, hân hoan) unaware and run into a brick wall.”
Pence told me Mattis still argued we were making military progress (tiến triển quân sự) in Afghanistan and should not change course. Pence knew as well as I that Trump didn’t believe that, and there was substantial evidence Mattis was wrong. Here, once again, it wasn’t so much that I disagreed with Mattis substantively as it was frustrating that he was determined to run into the wall on Afghanistan (as on Syria), and that he had no alternative line of argument to avoid getting the “wrong” answer.
