Ví dụ
This is like showing a red flag to a bull. Nothing is more important to elitists than the world trade system, and President Trump is shaking it up.

Should Joshua win the rematch, then super-fights with Wilder and Fury are back on the table. Even better for AJ, his vulnerability (dễ tổn thương) will be like a red flag to a bull, and should make it easier to agree terms with the Gyspy King and the Bronze Bomber.

This was like a red flag to a bull and only spurred (thúc đẩy) him on. “I’m so glad they actually said no,” he recalls, “because I joined another hotel group. I went to Durban for my first interview after finishing my final matric exam paper. I was still in my school when they picked me up and didn’t have time to tell my parents where I was going.”
