"Wait on someone hand and foot" nghĩa là gì?

Phục dịch từ chân* đến... Photo courtesy pop culture geek.

'Wait on someone hand and foot' có nghĩa là phục dịch một người nào bằng cách chăm sóc đáp ứng tất cả các yêu cầu của người đó, hầu hạ từ đầu đến chân.

Ví dụ
Albert has gotten quite a gift for his birthday. For the entire day, his wife is waiting on him hand and foot. Whatever he wants, she takes care of, from bringing him breakfast in bed to drawing his bath (pha nước tắm) to running errands (chạy lo việc vặt) for him. He’s being treated like a king!

When I met Bill Gates at a software convention, I was surprised. As the world’s richest person, I thought he’d have assistants attending to his every need. But he wasn’t self-important (không tự cho mình là quan trọng) at all, and didn’t expect to be waited on hand and foot.
