'Take/get a beating' có beating là sự thất bại nặng nề; vì thế cụm từ này nghĩa là bị thua nặng, nhận một trận đòn đích đáng (to be severely defeated in a game or competition); ngoài ra còn có nghĩa là bị mất nhiều tiền, thua lỗ nặng, bị chỉ trích nặng nề (to lose a lot of money; to be severely criticized).
