'Beat a path to one's door' = đi rất nhiều tới trước cửa (nhà/hàng) ai đó -> nghĩa là ghé thăm (ai, sự kiện gì) với số lượng lớn, đông người; háo hức muốn mua một thứ gì đó.
Ví dụ
A north Essex jeweller (thợ kim hoàn) is showing all the stellar (ưu tú, xuất sắc) pulling power of his Hollywood namesake (trùng tên) - as high-spending customers beat a path to his door.
After the season, Kimbrel filed (nộp đơn, đệ trình) for free agency. He expected the world to beat a path to his door, but in baseball, as in politics, the first question people have is "What have you done for us lately?" The answer, as everyone who'd watched the post-season knew, was, "Not much."
“His reports contributed to policies that hastened (đẩy nhanh) the demise (thất bại) of the USSR,” says Mr Kissinger. For example, he found the CIA had heavily overstated the size of the Soviet economy. It was thus underestimating the burden of its military spending. This fed into then president Ronald Reagan’s strategy of pushing the USSR into an arms race it could not afford. Marshall was equally prescient (có thể thấy trước) about looming great power competition with China. Even after he retired, policymakers, journalists and generals beat a path to his door. “His days were always booked up,” says Mr May.
