Ví dụ
I hate to go behind her back, but she makes so much trouble about things like this.

The resignation (từ chức) of Helena Costa shows that in sport, as in politics, the bar (rào cản) is set twice as high for women:... Costa, in fact, gave quite a detailed explanation of her decision to leave before she had even watched her players kick a ball in training. She says that there was a “total lack of respect” and “amateurism” (tính chất nghiệp dư) from the club, which included the sporting director wanting to sign players without her agreement and a failure to respond to her emails. Costa’s decision seems to be rather clever, in that case, because she could no doubt see which way the wind was blowing (gió thổi chiều nào): an attempt to undermine her, go behind her back and, if the team performed poorly, blame (đổ lỗi) her for the failure (thất bại).
