'The wee small hours (of the night/morning)' nghĩa là ngay sau nửa đêm, những giờ phút rất sớm sau nửa đêm.

Ví dụ
If you remember partying (tiệc tùng) until the wee small hours in Wakefield 15 years ago, we might have your photo here.

WELCOME back, Winterwatch (BBC1) where a hi-tech night camera caught an owl (cú đêm) sitting in a tree in the pitch-black (tối đen như mực) wee small hours.

For tennis fans in the U.S., the biggest challenge in following the action will be the 16-hour time difference between the tournament (giải đấu) in Melbourne and the east coast of the United States. That means the men's and women's singles finals (chung kết đơn nam) will begin in the wee small hours of Friday and Saturday morning in our part of the globe (địa cầu).

The spectacle (quang cảnh, cảnh tượng, trình diễn/biểu diễn) that unfolds on YouTube can be seen as a sad commentary (bình luận, chú thích, dẫn giải) on the diminished wattage of today’s pop stars versus those of Sinatra’s era. Those inclined to a more sanguine (lạc quan, đầy hy vọng, tin tưởng; đỏ, hồng hào) interpretation, however, might submit the video as evidence that the Rat Pack spirit – guys and dolls bumping and grinding into the wee small hours – remains alive and well in the 21st century.
