hang in doubt

Rather than cast doubt on their own judgment by announcing that a long-held practice has ended in humiliation, regulators are tempted to hang on just a little bit longer.

与其因宣布某种长期做法已在耻辱中画上句号而令自身判断受到质疑，规制者们更愿意稍稍再多坚持观望几天。

And one other thing is not in doubt: at that day's press conference, his listeners will hang on his every word.

另外一件事也是勿庸置疑的：到时候那天的记者招待会上，他的听众一定会对他的每个词语都字斟句酌，反复推敲的。
