how they were dug in

[342346]

안녕하세요.

얼마전에 코펜하겐 기후협약관련하여 pbs newhour를 듣다가 모르는 부분이 생겨서

도움좀 얻고자 질문드려요 ^^;

여기 카페에도 올라와있던데, 아래 빨간부분 이해가 잘 안되네요..

도움좀 주셔영~~!

JEFFREY BROWN: So, was there, at the end, a sense of biting off too much? What happened at the end there?

RAY SUAREZ: I think the preparations that went on after the Bali meetings went on with the assumption that there would be enough work done before everyone assembled in Copenhagen so that you would just have to get that last little bit to an agreement in those final two weeks in the Danish capital.

But once they saw where the parties were, how they were dug in, those gaps seemed to be just too broad to cover.
