'White as a ghost' là trắng như ma -> miêu tả một khuôn mặt tái nhợt, trắng bệch vì sợ hãi, shock hoặc bị bệnh.
Ví dụ
She ran upstairs (lên tầng) to help her mother. “She was as white as a ghost. The minute I saw her face, I could tell, this wasn’t just a normal asthma (bệnh hen) attack that she had every couple of months. This was a serious one.”
It took a jury (ban hội thẩm của tòa án) two days to convict (thuyết phục) Russo. For Giuca, it was just a couple of hours. Both were found guilty (tội lỗi) of murder (tội giết người) by two separate juries in Brooklyn, New York, and sentenced to 25 years to life (lĩnh án tù 25 năm) in prison. “I turned white as a ghost and I was in such a total shock that I couldn’t believe,” Giuca said. “My brain would not accept it.”
When I got to her apartment (căn hộ) I found her in bed as white as a ghost from blood loss (mất máu). She told me what happened and I went into the bathroom. Although she had done a fairly good job of cleaning up, it was like a CSI crime scene (phân cảnh phạm tội).
