'The rub' nghĩa là chà xát hay cọ xát. Vì thế nghĩa bóng của nó là một sự khó khăn hay trở ngại phát sinh từ một hòan cảnh nào đó.
Ví dụ
Anyone who has read the script (kịch bản) for the film knows that it's a singularly brilliant piece of writing, but the rub is that screenplays (kịch bản phim) are written to be filmed, not to be read.
But here is the rub: the performance lacks in integration what it provides in imaginative ambition.
All of my friends are meeting at the new restaurant tomorrow night. I’d love to join (tham gia) them as I’ve heard so much about it. But here’s the rub: It’s a steakhouse and I’m a vegetarian (người ăn chay). What am I supposed to eat?
The Happy Cola Company offered (đề nghị) to donate (tặng) 20 million dollars to rebuild some of the city’s parks. The rub was that the parks had to be called “Happy-Cola” parks with big signs and corporate advertising (quảng cáo) featured everywhere. What a dilemma (vấn đề nan giải)!
