noun 下载 🔗分享 冷战 A period of hostile relations between rivals where direct open warfare between them is largely undesired and avoided. Examples : "Even though they disagreed on almost everything, the two departments in the company were locked in a cold war, preferring to undermine each other rather than risk a direct confrontation that could hurt both. " 即使他们几乎在所有事情上都意见不合,公司里的这两个部门还是陷入了冷战,他们宁愿互相拆台,也不愿意冒着直接冲突的风险,因为那样可能会两败俱伤。 politics world government history war nation period military state 与AI对话词汇游戏阅读练习
