Picture bringing something to a close — the last item of a meeting, the final page, the signature at the bottom of a treaty. From that closing come two useful moves: the thinking stops and you are left with a verdict, and the negotiating stops and you are left with a deal. Note the word is formal throughout; in conversation English says finish, end, or decide.

可以想成:把一件事收起來——會議的最後一項、書的最後一頁、條約下方簽上的那個名字。從這個「收尾」延伸出兩個很有用的動作:思考停下來,於是你手上有了判斷;談判停下來,於是你手上有了協議。要注意這個字整組都偏正式,日常口語會說 finish、end 或 decide。
