'Cut a wide swath' = cắt một đường cỏ rất rộng -> lôi kéo rất nhiều sự chú ý, ngoài ra nó còn dùng để nói về những thiệt hại/ tổn thất lớn, nặng nề.
Ví dụ

Kyle cut a wide swath in our community (cộng đồng). He was not only Whitman’s international student adviser — beloved, necessary, and himself a Fulbright scholar (học giả) — he was queer (đồng tính nam, lạ lùng) and loud and a committed (tận tụy) social activist (nhà hoạt động xã hội) who worked tirelessly (không mệt mỏi) on immigrant rights.
