"The kiss of death" = nụ hôn thần chết -> nghĩa là sự việc, sự kiện nào đó không thể tránh khỏi thất bại, hủy hoại.
Ví dụ
Virendra Sharma, Labour MP and supporter of the Best For Britain anti-Brexit campaign (chiến dịch), said: "Being endorsed by a racist like Steve Bannon should be the kiss of death for a politician (chính trị gia)." He added: "Bannon wants a worldwide alliance (liên minh) of the far-right. Farage is in on it and would jump at the chance to team up with Johnson at an election to make sure he gets what he wants.
We sat in that area of the casket (quan tài) and we pulled up in the curtains (màn cửa) and we're making scary ghoulish faces out of the window to passing cars, which we thought was hilarious (buồn cười) at the time and I still think it's quite hilarious. Then, we pecked on the lips and it was just lightning in a bottle. I got the kiss of death.
In the end, Hextall’s passive nature (bản chất bị động) and funny quirks proved to be the kiss of death for his reign in Philadelphia. Rather than building strong playoff contenders (ứng cử viên), he opted (chọn) to build from within through the draft — not always an ineffective (không hiệu quả) method, but certainly a flawed one.
