"Down to the short strokes" -> nghĩa là trong giai đoạn cuối cùng hoặc sắp hoàn thành của công việc/tình thế khó khăn, lâu dài. 

Ví dụ
There was no clearer sign that we're down to the short strokes than when the competition regulator launched a market inquiry (điều tra) into Canadian dairy company Saputo's proposed acquisition (giành được) of Lion late on Tuesday.

In a year of political differences, we’re coming down to the short strokes for a campaign that has been strange — historic. In the midst (giữa) of a pandemic, traditional face-to-face campaigning has become more limited. Talking about the campaign, especially through social media, seems to be at an all-time high. I think this would be a good thing, when the messages are authoritative (có căn cứ).

The S&P 500 rose 0.8 per cent on Friday to its third consecutive (liên tiếp) record close after Larry Kudlow, Donald Trump’s top economic adviser, told reporters negotiations to wrap up a phase one trade pact are “coming down to the short strokes.” The rally secured the benchmark index’s strongest advance in two weeks and its first six-week winning streak in two years.

Yesterday, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters that US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart (bản sao) Xi Jinping were in final stages of signing the interim (chuyển tiếp) trade deal. He said: “We are coming down to the short strokes. We are in communication with them every single day right now.”
