    Call a truce
    Didi Chuxing, a Chinese mobile transportation platform, has denied rumors about merging with Uber Technologies. A Bloomberg report previously claimed that investors wanted the companies to call a truce, since the two have been competing to become China’s top ride-hailing app. Both have been pouring money into expanding their services and attracting customers, by offering low-cost promotional deals. Neither company would confirm a deal had been struck.
    滴滴出行近日否認了要和優(yōu)步合并的傳言。此前，彭博的一份報告指出，投資方希望兩家公司停戰(zhàn)。優(yōu)步和滴滴出行一直在競爭成為中國叫車應用軟件行業(yè)的老大，兩家公司提供低價優(yōu)惠，在擴張業(yè)務和吸引客戶方面投入了巨額資金。兩家公司都沒有確認相關的合并交易。
    馬上學：“停戰(zhàn)”除了可以用call a truce 表達外，還可以用stop fighting, put up the sword, bury the hatchet等。
