Ví dụ
Politics and romance are not known to make good bedfellows (cùng phe), but now that both have seen their political careers go pear-shaped, perhaps the romance can blossom (hi vọng)?
Control begins as its heroine, Jesse Faden, walks into a functionally invisible skyscraper in New York City. Things go pear-shaped as soon as she crosses its threshold (ngưỡng cửa), and she’s just as puzzled as I am.
Anyone who gives public talks knows things can go pear-shaped when it comes to audience questions. But the woman asking an odd question about smell after a presentation on Parkinson's disease wasn't a crank (kì dị, lập dị). She's a super-smeller - she can actually smell the disease. And her nose could lead the way to earlier diagnosis and new treatments.
Occasionally we are called on to observe an abject (khốn khổ) lesson in how not to do things. In this case, some folks did us the favor of shooting a video of a stunt you should not try at home. If this particular maneuver is something you aspire to learn, I would like to take this opportunity to beseech (cầu xin) you: wear your gear while you’re attempting ill-advised high-speed shenanigans and/or hijinks. Things can and will go pear-shaped, so if you want to ride again tomorrow, at least put a helmet on first.
