Deadend là gì

History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation. Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending [2011]. Photo courtesy Robert Couse-Baker.

'Dead end' là ngõ cụt, đường cùng [an end of a road or passage from which no exit is possible; a cul-de-sac]; và có thể được dùng để miêu tả một tình huống không có triển vọng hay tiến triển [a situation offering no prospects of progress or development].

Ví dụ
