'Soften the blow' = làm mềm/xoa dịu cú đấm -> làm tình huống xấu trở nên bớt nghiêm trọng hơn
Ví dụ
“Crop insurance (bảo hiểm) is like life insurance: It’s the last thing you want to collect because you don’t benefit from it,” Thomas said. “It protects some aspects of your operation, but you can’t make a living on crop insurance. It helps soften the blow.”
Increasing oil prices have helped soften the blow of Algeria’s economic morass (bãi lầy). From February 22-August 15, Algeria’s Saharan Blend crude oil (dầu thô) sold at an average of $67.12 per barrel, more than $17 above the average of $50 budgeted by the government for 2019.
Boeing (BA) landed a contract worth up to $999 million to produce wing sets for the A-10 Thunderbolt II. It helps soften the blow after the Pentagon canceled the Dow Jones stock's contract to produce a "kill vehicle" to shoot down missiles (tên lửa) from North Korea or Iran.
Getting nothing in return when your best player walks away is painful. It can turn a contending (chiến đấu) team into to a rebuild overnight. The Cleveland Cavaliers had to go through this heartache (nỗi đau buồn) twice after LeBron James left in free agency. But if you have a good foundation in place, you can soften the blow.
