'Show one the ropes' (shared via VOA) có show là chỉ, và ropes là sợi dây thừng. Thành ngữ này ngày xưa được dùng để chỉ việc các thủy thủ được chỉ dẫn cách xử dụng những loại dây thừng trên tàu. Giờ đây, nó có nghiã là giải thích cách làm một công việc gì.
Ví dụ

My daughter says she’s ready to go car shopping (mua xe ôtô). Since she doesn’t know much about warranties (giấy bảo hành) and the latest consumer (người tiêu thụ) information I’d better show her the ropes.
