"Run into the sand" = thành cát bụi -> không thành công; kết quả thất bại; bị cản trở hoặc chặn đứng.
Ví dụ
Speculation (suy đoán) about the Trump administration fast-tracking a vaccine follows numerous other interventions (can thiệp) by Donald Trump and his top officials that have either been unhelpful or run into the sand.
The plight (hoàn cảnh) of 3i, whose top 50 asset writedown (điều chỉnh xuống) is equivalent to an £682m fall in value, is further evidence of how the leveraged buyout (mua lại và sáp nhập bằng vốn đi vay) boom that controversially made huge inroads (xâm nhập) into corporate Britain in recent years has run into the sand.
The 1980s HOTOL programme – for HOrizontal Take-Off and Landing – saw British Aerospace (today’s BAE Systems) and Rolls-Royce eyeing the possibility of a winged spaceplane. The scheme ultimately ran into the sand as expectations of cost and development time spiralled (tăng liên tục) while question marks hanging over the viability (khả năng sinh lợi) of the spaceplane’s design led to concern that it would not outperform much simpler conventional rockets. Equally devastating, the UK’s partners in the European Space Agency (ESA) were not enthusiastic, preferring instead to develop what became the hugely successful Ariane 5 heavy launcher. Meanwhile, the USA showed some interest but London feared that it would end up a junior partner in a transatlantic (xuyên Đại Tây Dương) HOTOL effort – while alienating (xa lánh) its European partners.
