"In the offing" có offing là vị trí ngoài khơi -> cụm từ này nghĩa là sắp xảy ra (bắt nguồn từ việc nếu bạn thấy con thuyền "in the offing" có nghĩa là con thuyền sắp về đến bờ).

Ví dụ
Other companies have disclosed (tiết lộ) similar probes (khảo sát) and experts believe more settlements (dàn xếp) are in the offing.

Vantage has analysed the stock market movements between January 20 and February 25 of biopharma (dược sinh học) companies that have made public announcements on coronavirus. Though the first Covid-19 case was reported last December it was only in the week of January 20 that it became apparent (rõ ràng) that a global health emergency was in the offing.

With neither side ready to face up directly, a durable ceasefire (lệnh ngừng bắn) may well be in the offing. But not before Turkey has squared the debt through Russia’s proxy (ủy quyền). With Russia controlling the airspace over Idlib province, Turkish drones and artillery (pháo binh) are likely to be deployed (điều động) to full devastating effect in coming days, but not at Russian troops, or air bases (căn cứ không quân).
