'Keep in the dark about something' có từ dark là tối tăm, ngu dốt, không biết gì; vì thế cụm từ này nghĩa là mù mờ/không biết rõ về điều gì.

Ví dụ
Home Ministry was kept in the dark about Naga peace pact.

Tianjin residents have been kept in the dark about fatal blasts, Hong Kong witness says.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has rejected claims MPs have been "kept in the dark" about the involvement of British pilots in airstrikes in Syria.

With no public nod to Project Titan, however, and even the bulk of Apple's own staff kept in the dark about the research, Apple is likely loath to file the documents required for such testing. At the very least, it would need to apply for a self-driving vehicle permit from the California DMV.

At his seven-fifteen A.M.  meeting,  Nixon told Helms and Moorer that he wanted plans drawn up for a joint U.S.-South Vietnamese invasion (cuộc xâm lược) of the Fish Hook area; this was to be in addition to the South Vietnamese  solo operation  into Parrot's Beak that he had approved at the previous day's NSC meeting. Laird  and  Rogers,  who  had  not  been  invited,  were off in their offices working to make sure  that American  logistical support  for the planned  South  Vietnamese  invasion of Parrot's Beak was kept to a minimum. Feeling unusually squeamish about keeping the defense secretary  in  the  dark,  Kissinger called  Laird  and  told  him  that  an American invasion was now an option. Laird was not happy.
