at daggers drawn
势不两力、剑拔弩张。
drawn除了“绘画”的意思外，还可以表示“拖、拉、牵引”，所以这个短语字面意思可以理解为“处于匕首拔出的（状态）”。其最早起源于中世纪欧洲，当时人们习惯携带匕首或尖锐武器进行自我保护或战斗。于是人们用"at daggers drawn"指两人或团体互相敌对到了拔刀对决的地步，准备进行战斗。后来，这个短语演化为用于形容人们之间的关系紧张到了极致，可能引发冲突或争执。
与之意思相近的短语还有：
at loggerheads：争执不下，关系紧张。
on the brink of war：处于战争边缘，濒于战争。
in a state of tension：处于紧张状态。
in a hostile relationship：处于敌对关系。
The two rival gangs were at daggers drawn, ready to engage in a fierce and deadly battle for control of the neighborhood. Tensions were high as both sides armed themselves with weapons and took their positions. Hatred filled the air as the leaders exchanged threats and insults. It was a dangerous standoff, and any small trigger could ignite a violent clash.
这两个对立的帮派处于全面交战的状态，准备为控制这片社区展开激烈而致命的战斗。紧张气氛高涨，双方都武装自己，就位待命。仇恨弥漫在空气中，领导人互相威胁和侮辱。这是一个危险的对峙局面，任何小的诱因都可能引发激烈的冲突。
