'Fall from grace' nghĩa là làm điều gì đó tồi tệ khiến mọi người không còn yêu mến, ngưỡng mộ bạn nữa (to do something bad which makes people in authority stop liking you or admiring you / to lose your reputation or rank); mất danh dự, thân bại danh liệt.
Ví dụ
Nasrallah's fall from grace 'is his own making' (tự chuốc lấy).
Given the choice between falling from grace and starving, few people choose to starve.
Naturally, the criticisms leveled at her in the wake of her fall from grace have been particularly harsh (cay nghiệt).
In the past stars have had the power to reignite (khơi gợi) interest in the game. Tiger Woods drew an unprecedented (vô tiền khoáng hậu) number of newcomers to the sport. But he fell from grace and no new star has emerged to take his place.
