"Open old wounds" nghĩa là gì?

'Open old wounds' = mở lại vết thương cũ -> gợi lại cho ai đó những kí ức đau buồn, không vui hay không may trong quá khứ.

Ví dụ
Although I can't wholeheartedly parse (phân tích ngữ pháp) one hidden agenda from the other, Jadakiss' latest Twitter PSA does appear to open old wounds, in the most constructive manner imaginable.

Judging from social media videos, in which residents of the Druze community seem to be armed to the teeth (trang bị đầy đủ, kĩ càng), this can happen overnight, because many in the country seem eager to open old wounds and settle old scores with enemies from Lebanon’s civil war.

For hours, I used to hide in a basement (tầng hầm) closet or way up high in my climbing tree, when mom would utter (phát ra, thốt ra) those words of terror … “Just wait ’til your father gets home.” Just recalling those words open old wounds, the pain far too real. That phrase triggers boyhood memories of doing something wrong and the frequent firestorm (ngọn lửa lớn) consequence that usually went far beyond a ‘normal’ spanking (đánh vào mông).
