"Waiting in the wings" = đợi ở cánh gà -> nghĩa là sẵn sàng giúp/hỗ trợ hoặc thay thế ai đó. Theo truyền thống, các diễn viên thường đợi ở cánh gà trước khi lên sân khấu.

Ví dụ
Bancroft recorded just seven and eight in Birmingham and will need a score in the second innings (lượt đấu) at Lord's with Marcus Harris, who has scored two fifties and a century in warm-up matches on this tour, waiting in the wings.

Tierney joining Arsenal hurt fans to the core (cốt lõi), but it makes it even worse that Celtic did not prepare for life without him. It's not like they didn't have enough time to bring in a replacement (thay thế). It was clear he would be leaving, a matter of when and not if. At least when Dembele left for Lyon on deadline day last summer, there was a £9m Edouard waiting in the wings.

My last set of drugs (ma túy), my 4th line of treatment (điều trị), hasn't stopped working, as such. And I'm not at the stage where I have to pin my hopes on a clinical trial (thử nghiệm laam sàng) as a last shot. But, the reality is this is my 5th line of treatment and after this we don't have another one waiting in the wings. I could let the fear take hold, and some days I do.
