Ví dụ
Big brother had a sticky-fingers spell (câu thần chú, bùa mê) and I think we resolved it pretty well, but that approach isn't working with Thief. We've been careful not to shame (sự xấu hổ, tủi thẹn; làm nhục, ô danh) him, and say "whoever took this item from the store should tell us - we'll be so proud of you and help you make it right." He always fesses up crying.

Remember when Han had a bit of a sticky fingers problem? She did it to dress fabulously (khó tin, không thể tưởng tượng được), but in Season 6 she would never take such casual risks. She may steal the occasional car (sorry, Lesli Stone) but unless A was somehow pulling the strings, she'd never pick up a pair of Versace sunglasses without paying for them.

Jesus tries to talk me out of going into the old part of the city at night, stressing it is too dangerous, full of pickpockets who rob at knifepoint. When we pass a few immigrant (người nhập cư) teenagers in the car, he makes a sticky-fingers gesture, rubbing his fingers against the base of his thumb. "They are not Spanish," he says. "They come here from Morocco to rob."
