'To chill sb to the bone' nghĩa đen là làm cho rét thấu xương, và nghĩa bóng là khiến ai vô cùng hoảng sợ (to make someone feel very frightened).

Ví dụ
In the blog post, Gay plainly (thẳng thắn) states that she doesn’t believe Dunham is “a child molester (quấy rối tình dục trẻ em) or abuser or anything she has been accused of (buộc tội). These accusations chill me to the bone because they are so very serious and have such grave consequences (hậu quả nghiêm trọng).”

That road trip became one of the scariest (kinh hoàng), most dangerous, and nerve-wracking (căng thẳng thần kinh) episodes (giai đoạn) of my life. The adventure started out innocently, with a Possessed in-store appearance at a really cool little metal record shop in L.A. The band signed ceramic skulls (hộp sọ). Jeff Becerra, Mike Torrao from Possessed, and I also received gold pentagram (ngôi sao năm cánh) necklaces (vòng cổ, kiềng) as gifts. Unfortunately, they were cursed (bị nguyền rủa), and set in motion a chain of events that chill me to the bone to this day.

Android's fragmented (phân mảnh) ecosystem, and the reliance on OEMs (Original equipment manufacturer) and carriers to push updates to the majority of users has finally caught up with the platform. This should send chills down the spines (xương sống) of IT admins who have embraced Android for BYOD. It would chill me to the bone, and it would make me think twice about allowing old Android devices inside my digital fortress. Same would go for old iOS devices, but there some 87 percent of users are running iOS 7, with a further 11 percent running iOS 6. Fragmentation is far less of a problem here because Apple pushes updates direct to the users. Android needs to gets its house in order, and only Google can do that, either by strong-arming (dùng vũ lực đối với) the OEMs and carriers or making it possible to update the operating system without needing to go through the carriers.
