"Doesn't hold a candle" (hoặc "Can't hold a candle") = không giữ được cây nến -> nghĩa là không tốt hoặc không được như mong muốn so với người/vật khác.
Ví dụ
This oil company is hot, hot, hot. Literally. As toasty as Texas can get in the summer, it doesn’t hold a candle to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital (thủ đô), where the average high in August is around 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Yet the world’s largest energy producer, Saudi Aramco, has picked next month to hold its inaugural (buổi khai mạc) investor relations call.
While it doesn’t hold a candle to the killer selection of free games Xbox One owners are getting in August, the lineup of PlayStation Plus free games for next month is nothing to sneeze at. If you subscribe to PlayStation Plus, you’ll get both the triplet of futuristic (tương lai) racing games in the WipEout Omega Collection (which has a VR mode too) and Sniper Elite 4, which got solid reviews when it launched back in 2017.
That turned out to be a bit of a scandalous affair (vụ bê bối), as some fans now believe Jinger plans to let her daughter play sports, which is strictly verboten in the Duggar's world. But it doesn't hold a candle to the Duggars' latest outing, in which they dined on ribs at a place with the awesome name of Ribs Against the Machine.
