"Monkey in the middle" là trò chơi (các cầu thủ) chuyền bóng cho nhau để người ở giữa không thể nào lấy được; chơi bóng ma.

Ví dụ
Stop being the monkey in the middle as their go-between and become a leader who empowers (làm cho ai đó có khả năng) your team through coaching.

For two decades, Belarus has played a game of “Monkey in the Middle.” Amidst (ở giữa) increasing tensions (căng thẳng) between Russia and the West, however, it remains to be seen how much longer it can continue to do so.

As a kid, I used to play this game called "Monkey in the Middle." I had a little brother and typically arranged it so that he was the monkey. A group of kids would stand around in a circle and throw a ball back and forth. The monkey's goal was to intercept (ngăn chặn) the ball. When he got it, the child who tossed (ném) it became the next monkey. These days, crude oil is like that monkey. Bullish (the trade and currency war between the U.S. and China) and bearish (Iran) have been flying over the market like a ball pushing the price in opposite directions.
