'To have bigger fish to fry' = có con cá lớn hơn để rán, nghĩa là có việc quan trọng cần làm hơn (to have something more important or more interesting to do).
Ví dụ
A stronger dollar undermines (làm suy yếu) prices of dollar-denominated commodities (thương phẩm) by making them less affordable to buyers in other currencies. Still, agricultural commodity investors have bigger fish to fry today even than these considerations, with Monday bringing a slew (một đống) of data.
And also today, Press Secretary Josh Earnest admitting the White House messed up (làm rối tung lên), saying the White House should have sent high-profile official, but not conceding (thừa nhận) that the president himself should have gone. But as annoyed as I am, it's time to move on. We have bigger fish to fry, like Islamic extremists (phần tử cực đoan). Even if the Obama administration won't use that term, I will. How about you?
After further back-and-forth on what should be done with the house, Robert Werner suggested they put a moratorium (tạm ngừng hoạt động) on it and decide later what to do. Phillips agreed. "We have bigger fish to fry," he said, adding that since the remaining trust funds are gathering interest, the county can slow down and make well-planned decisions on what to do with the home.
Mitt Romney isn't the only person who thinks that he should take another run at the White House in 2016. Hillary Clinton apparently also thinks it is a great idea. "We'd be much more concerned about Bush," a Clinton adviser told the New York Daily News last week, adding that if Romney somehow manages to secure the GOP nomination: "We will cream (đánh bại) him." The Republicans have bigger fish to fry. Namely, Hillary herself.
