impasse
含义: A situation in which no progress is possible, especially because of disagreement; a dead end.
Impasse is a slightly more formal and diplomatic word than 'deadlock,' often used in negotiations, diplomacy, and political commentary. It implies that the parties have reached a point where further discussion seems futile. The word retains its French pronunciation in English (roughly 'AM-pass'). Common collocations include 'reach an impasse,' 'break the impasse,' and 'political impasse.'
