Ví dụ
The story on the other side of the Red Bull garage wasn't as straightforward, with rookie Alex Albon suffering a brush with the wall in FP2 after exceeding his limits while pushing, a mishap (việc rủi ro, việc không may; tai nạn; sự bất hạnh) which slightly eroded (xói mòn) his confidence (sự tự tin).

His father had a brush with show business when Zsa Zsa Gabor became his second wife in 1942. Barron’s older brother, Conrad Jr., known as Nicky, married a teenage Elizabeth Taylor in 1950. Barron’s socialite granddaughter Paris Hilton transformed herself into a pop culture brand.

Although Andy died on the heels of a fairly common surgery (phẫu thuật), he had a brush with death earlier in life that was actually downright terrifying. On June 3, 1968, Valerie Solanas shot Andy, along with art critic Mario Amaya, at Andy's studio. Valerie had worked on the outskirts (ngoại ô) of Andy's group as an actress and writer, but her work had become radically feminist to the point of being anti-men, even writing a work called the SCUM Manifesto that suggested a utopian society (xã hội không tưởng) by eliminating (xóa bỏ) patriarchal (phụ hệ, gia trưởng) societal structures (cơ cấu xã hội) and men themselves.
