'Wait in the wings' = đợi ở cánh gà -> nghĩa là sẵn sàng/nôn nóng nhận trọng trách hoặc thay thế ai đó.

Ví dụ

This includes the likes of Eskom – currently South Africa’s biggest liability (khoản nợ) – which could easily eat away half of Ramaphosa’s investment target just to break even – while South African Airways, the SABC, Denel, Sanral and many others wait in the wings.
