'Out of sight, out of mind' có từ sight là sự nhìn, trông và mind là ý ức, trí nhớ; vì thế cụm từ này nghĩa là xa mặt cách lòng (you soon forget people or things that are no longer visible or present).

Ví dụ
National defence is a dead zone in our elections, rarely debated in depth in a country where the military and its multiple problems are mostly out of sight, out of mind.

Before long, Gharani began sharing stories with words as well, tremendous (khủng khiếp, dữ dội) stories of his time in Guantánamo Bay, a place that remains for many Americans out of sight, out of mind.

If you go shopping on an empty stomach and without a shopping list, you tend to pick convenience foods or snacks that are high in calories. Buying these snacks will do little to help your health and fitness goals because when you see them, you will definitely eat them. In this regard the best approach is ‘out of sight out of mind’.
