Ôi không, rắc rối to rồi!!! Photo by: Marko Blažević on Unsplash

"In hot water" = trong nước nóng -> trong tình huống khó khăn, rắc rối. Giống như "trong nước sôi lửa bỏng" vậy các bạn.

Ví dụ
A secretly filmed video report about sex workers in the Tajik capital has landed its authors in hot water as authorities (cơ quan chức năng) accuse them of breaching (phá vỡ) privacy laws (luật lệ).

A tweet from Tesla chief executive (giám đốc điều hành) Elon Musk could land the entrepreneur (doanh nghiệp) in hot water once again with the Securities and Exchange Commission, at least according to some pundits (học giả).

After joining the Reds from relegated Fulham just a few days ago, 16-year-old Harvey Elliot is in hot water following a viral clip in which he is believed to have offensively teased Tottenham Hotspur striker Kane.

Not to be left out, his third Atlantic City casino, the $1 billion Trump Taj Mahal, struggled to stay afloat and filed for bankruptcy in 1991, followed by the Castle and Plaza in 1992. After that reorganization, where his creditors took substantial haircuts, Trump took his casino businesses public in 1995 with the new name Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, and now in his fifties, he was in hot water again.
