'Crack under the strain' = (đầu óc) đứt vì căng thẳng quá -> nghĩa là căng thẳng trong trường hợp cụ thể nào đó; (não như) ngừng hoạt động vì áp lực, mệt mỏi.
Ví dụ
Dear Dr K Sivan, It's hard to find a picture of you in which you aren't smiling. And yours is such an arresting smile: effortless, spontaneous, affectionate. So when you quietly announced on Saturday morning that the Chandrayaan-2 lander had gone incommunicado (không giao tiếp với ai), and your voice appeared to crack under the strain of emotion, it was more than I could bear to watch.
On the build side, the Fold has a 4.6-inch display when in smartphone mode, which should be a chunky but welcome reprieve (cứu giúp) to those who miss the small smartphone era. When opened, it reveals a 7.3-inch “Infinity Flex” display made not of glass—which would crack under the strain of opening and closing—but of a plasticky polymer that Samsung has previously said can withstand hundreds of thousands of openings and closings.
That very scenario (hình ảnh, kịch bản) makes Nancy Kelly’s performance as Rhoda’s mother, Christine, powerfully sympathetic, with a bitter air of hopelessness. She’s reminiscent (hồi tưởng, nhớ lại) of Ellen Burstyn in The Exorcist, trying to hold a family together as the unsettling clues start building up, looking likely to crack under the strain at any moment. You don’t blame her for being desperate (tuyệt vọng), so desperate, to believe every one of Rhoda’s excuses and rationalizations (hợp lý hóa).
