'Lay low' nghĩa là hạ gục, hạ đo ván (to cause to fall by a blow, to knock down, make prostrate; to overcome, defeat or destroy). -> be laid low = bị đánh gục, bị đánh chết, bị ốm liệt giường. Ngoài ra, lay low còn có nghĩa không thu hút sự chú ý, 'án binh bất động' (keep out of sight; avoid detection or attention).
Ví dụ
