'Finger in the pie' = nhón tay vào miếng bánh -> là một dấu hiệu ám chỉ sự liên quan/tham gia của ai đó vào một việc nào đấy.
Ví dụ
Her spokesperson (phát ngôn viên) Oupa Segalwe says she couldn’t investigate (điều tra) the claims that the controversial (tranh cãi) Gupta brothers had a finger in the pie because the commission (nhiệm vụ) of inquiry (điều tra) into state capture was already looking into the matter.
Taxes (thuế) are high because everyone has a relative (họ hàng) --- a finger in the pie --- in NJ government. For instance, there are seven police departments (phòng ban, cơ quan), each with chiefs, cars, arsenals (vũ khí), anti-terrorism (chống khủng bố) military-surplus (dự trữ) vehicles (for when Al Qaeda attacks the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge) and outrageous pension (trợ cấp) and health plans (Would you like a 100%-of-your-salary-pension? Be a suburban NJ cop.), plus unlimited donut-time construction site duty between the Tac-Pal Bridge and Delanco, a distance of about ten miles.Do you not know a friend or relative who's in a New Jersey government job? I don't.
And I hope to keep my finger in the pie at Willie Mullins’s, which has been part of my life since I left school and I hope will be part of it for a long time to come. I owe Willie, Jackie and Patrick an awful lot.
