'Cut down to size' = cắt giảm kích thước -> từ này còn được dùng để nói tới việc làm giảm/hạ thấp cái tôi/tự trọng của ai đó hoặc không đánh giá cao thứ gì, coi như còn không quan trọng nữa
Ví dụ
With the Jaguars expecting their core to be healthy by the start of the season, Pryor could find himself either out of the league or playing for a new team as the roster is cut down to size.
Defending (bảo vệ) champion Marin Cilic was cut down to size by Argentine Diego Schwartzman in the second round at the Queen's Club Championships as the rain that has dogged (dai dẳng) the tournament finally relented (ngớt).
He might be good when he’s playing in the local, amateur (nghiệp dư) league; but as soon as he tried to prove his mettle (nhuệ khí) in the overseas, professional league, he discovered he was out of his depth. As was inevitable (không thể tránh khỏi), he was cut down to size.
