'Speak under one's breath' nghĩa là nói khẽ, nói thì thầm, nói thì thào (spoken in such a soft, quiet voice that others cannot hear it distinctly).
Ví dụ
Judy muttered (nói khẽ, nói thầm; lẩm bẩm, cằn nhằn) an expletive (lời chêm vào, lời nói tục tĩu) under her breath, then smiled.
Gadsby’s delivery, throughout the Netflix special, is both whimsical (không thực tế, giàu tưởng tượng; kỳ dị) and droll (khôi hài, buồn cười; trò hề). She has a habit of delivering her punchlines (phần cuối của chuyện cười) almost under her breath, with an impish (tinh quái, tinh ma quỷ quái) grin (cười toe toét, cười nhe răng).
Before Trump signed his executive order, there were calls in the UK for the prime minister, Theresa May, to cancel his forthcoming visit until the policy was rescinded (hủy bỏ, bãi bỏ). “Until the children are reunited,” Clinton mutters under her breath. Her expression (nét mặt) suggests she regrets the interjection as soon as I ask her to repeat it. “I’m not going to speak for your government,” she corrects herself hastily (vội vã).
“So what’s going to happen?” asked Walter Lemos, one of José’s uncles, at his home one afternoon. “Even the boy prefers to stay in America,” José responded. “He knows there’s more for him there.” “But there’s no love like a parent’s love,” Lemos said under his breath, shaking his head.
