"Mark time" nghĩa là gì?


"Mark time" = (quân sự) giậm chân tại chỗ theo nhịp -> nghĩa là chỉ đợi thời gian trôi mà không làm gì cả; không làm việc gì có giá trị chỉ ngồi đợi để xem hoàn cảnh diễn ra như thế nào.

Camus writes that in a plague (bệnh dịch) there's 'nothing to do but mark time' but marking time is harder than it sounds. Is it Monday or Tuesday?

In this period of suspended living, which we have already been in for over the 50 days of counting, I wish that I could say that the end is nearing ... but I can’t. For now, this is our reality- that we will continue to find ways to mark time and choose to engage in community – virtually.

“Mathematics (toán học) is weak. Lessons in key stage 2 do not follow a sensible sequence and many pupils (học sinh) lack confidence in the subject. Work for the most able pupils is too easy and they mark time. On the other hand, pupils who do not understand something do not get the right guidance and teaching, so fall further behind,” the report said.
