peer agreement (net): +1保持观望 Explanation: 其实正好就是中文里面说的“骑墙” https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/straddle When you straddle something, you're sitting on it with one leg on each side — like straddling a horse or a fence. ... But if someone says you're "straddling the fence", it means you're doing a different kind of splits: you're not taking a side and refusing to commit. ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2020-07-05 08:37:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 这里“straddling the edge”是一个词组，表示“骑墙/观望”，不需要再把edge作为“边缘”译出了 |

两边不得罪 Explanation: 是骑墙之意，但这里译为保持观望暗示对两边都没采取行动之意，实际不是这样。指的是两边不得罪。 |
