"Green around the gills" = mang tai xanh lè, tương tự xanh như tàu lá chuối. Nếu ai đó "green around the gills" thì người đó trông xanh xao, ốm yếu.
Ví dụ
Many exclaimed (thốt lên) “That was amazing,” and “That was unbelievable.” Several of the guests were speechless (cạn lời) after the flight, and a few were a little green around the gills.
Today she is whipping up (đánh, quấy) a drink that will leave us green around the gills while giving us a heck of a hangover (nôn nao). All for just $93 trillion. Cheap! As Mad Magazine used to say.
Dinesh D’Souza as arbiter (thẩm phán, trọng tài) of masculinity makes me green around the gills to begin with. One must assume that his court-ordered psychiatry (án lệnh tâm thần học) didn’t do him much good back in the day.
I didn't notice the lean (độ nghiêng) as I tucked the GLS into a corner, but I did feel a marked difference in how stable the SUV felt and how I felt less tossed to-and-fro (lật qua lật lại), in the driver's seat. My often carsick co-pilot also looked noticeably less green around the gills over the twisty (ngoằn ngoèo) mountainous roads.
