'be shot to pieces' = bắn vỡ thành nhiều mảnh nhỏ -> cụm này dùng để miêu tả điều kiện khó khăn, không tốt hoặc kế hoạch, ý tưởng thất bại, không được như mong đợi.
Ví dụ
Down by two points with two minutes to play, the Sharks had Canterbury shot to pieces after a long run from back-rower Jack Williams.
Writing is a confidence (tự tin; tin tưởng) game, and often writers’ confidence is shot to pieces. An award like this can put self-doubt in the cupboard for a while.”
In the decade and a half since he won his first trophy (cúp) in 2005, Nadal has lost only two matches at Roland Garros – one in 2009 to Robin Soderling when his knees were shot to pieces and one to Novak Djokovic in 2015 when his confidence was inexplicably (không thể lý giải) in tatters (tan vỡ, bị phá hủy) (in 2016, he was forced to pull out with a wrist injury). But when he is fit and well, no man has ever been able to beat him on the Roland Garros clay.
