"Be asleep at the wheel" = Ngủ gật dưới bánh xe -> Chỉ ai đó không làm tròn trách nhiệm, nghĩa vụ của mình khi được giao một nhiệm vụ.
Ví dụ
Crowson says when HPD officers got to the scene, the man in the car appeared to be asleep at the wheel. As officers knocked on the window, the driver woke up and took off.
The referee (trọng tài), Jose Cobian, seemed to be asleep at the wheel as Avila took about 90 seconds too much of punishment until, finally, a California State Athletic Commissioner was forced to climb atop the ring apron to instruct the referee to stop the fight.
He said his office had a statutory (do pháp luật quy định) mandate (sự ủy nhiệm) to investigate. "If we didn't do it we would be asleep at the wheel," he said. The same day Judge Becroft announced his review, Minister for Children Tracey Martin announced an internal inquiry by Oranga Tamariki into its processes, specifically around the Hasting (gấp rút) family's case.
