"One in a hundred" = một trong một trăm -> nghĩa là rất không phổ biến, rất hiếm, độc nhất hoặc xuất sắc.

Ví dụ
In the Farrelly Brothers’ 1994 movie, “Dumb and Dumber,” Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) is assessing his chances to date socialite (người có vai vế trong xã hội, người nổi bật lên trong xã hội, người giao thiệp rộng) Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly). One in a hundred, he asks? Mary: I’d say more like one in a million. Lloyd: So you’re telling me there’s a chance? We mention this because on Tuesday night, Lowell’s City Council played its Lloyd Christmas card, voting to ask a federal judge (thẩm phán) to alter (thay đổi) a consent decree on the future makeup of the council and School Committee.

When researchers (nhà nghiên cứu) asked pig farmers in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam, whether they routinely (thường xuyên) added antibiotics (thuốc kháng sinh) to their animal feed to make them grow faster, only one in a hundred said yes. Fears had been growing that the practice, which fattens swine (vỗ béo) and also wards off (đẩy lùi) infection (nhiễm trùng), was widespread, but hard data was scarce (hiếm), so the study’s results – obtained by researchers from Australia and Vietnam in 2018 – were reassuring (yên lòng).

Carrier defenses (hệ thống phòng vệ) are layered (cài) to provide in-depth protection. Carrier strike groups (nhóm tấn công) arrange their defensive perimeters (vành đai) in layers (theo từng lớp) that reach out hundreds of miles, so that any enemy seeking to get within targeting range must overcome multiple hurdles (rào cản). That applies to hostile (thù địch) missiles, manned aircraft, submarines or any other potentially threatening system. The virtue (ưu điểm) of layered defense is that no layer needs to be perfect to protect the carrier. For instance, if each of three layers is 80% effective, the number of successful penetrators (xâm nhập) (.2 times .2 times .2) would likely be less than one in a hundred.
