'Leave a bad taste in one’s mouth' có một động từ mới là to leave nghĩa là để lại. Vì thế leave a bad taste in one's mouth có nghĩa là để lại một cảm giác tức giận hay bất mãn.
Ví dụ
It was kind (tử tế) of my neighbor to offer to babysit (trông trẻ con). But hearing her scream (la hét) at her nephew the other night has left a bad taste in my mouth (tôi cảm thấy khó chịu). That made such a poor impression (cảm tưởng xấu) on me that I can’t forget about it. I think I’ll find someone else to look after my kids.
Chuck’s sense of humor (tính hài hước) got him in trouble (lôi thôi) again. This time he told a joke about the Pope in front of our new boss, who is a devout (sùng đạo) Catholic. The incident managed to leave a bad taste in her mouth. She’s been very upset (tức giận) ever since.
The pain of having his privacy violated added a healthy dose of sensitivity toward civil liberties to Safire's conservatism-and it also left a sour taste about Kissinger.
