请解释一下这句话里的with的用法

雅薇

&nbsp; &nbsp; The name of the gallant four who thus acted instead of shilly-shallying with a Committee are well known.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; 此话的背景是四个人集资买了块地，事后证明他们的眼光很好。<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; 我的翻译是：这四个目光远大的人，因不像一般委员会那样优柔寡断，故其声名远播。<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; 疑问是：with又不像是与……比较的意思，该怎么理解呢？还是：四人已经声名远播，尽管他们在此后委员会工作中有些优柔寡断。

The name of the gallant four who thus acted instead of shilly-shallying with a Committee are well known.<br />我的理解大意是：这四人果断地采取了行动（买了这块地），而不是组成个委员会，优柔寡断地讨论来讨论去。。。<br />committee 是self-constituted organization,指的是他们组成个委员会专门讨论要不要买地。。
