"Do a number on" nghĩa là gây tổn hại tới ai hay vật gì đó. 

Ví dụ:
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo's divorce (ly hôn) will do a number on their careers (sự nghiệp).

Perms (thuốc uốn tóc), relaxers (thuốc duỗi tóc) and hair coloring all use chemicals (hóa chất) to curl (uốn quăn), straighten and dye (nhuộm) your hair. These chemicals can do a number on your hair and scalp (da đầu), including breakage (gẫy) and irritation (dị ứng). So use them wisely.

Sometimes it may feel like you are taking the entire house in order to be prepared for all eventualities (các tình huống có thể xảy ra) but when travelling with a pet, there are a few things you absolutely must have. Pets are naturally curious, bless their furry heads, and might get into this nature thing a little more than you anticipate (lường trước). From campground grazing (lướt, sượt), to aggressive (hùng hổ) squirrel hunting… even drinking from puddles (vũng nước) may do a number on their sensitive (nhạy cảm) tummies (dạ dày).
