'One step forward, two steps back' = tiến một bước , lùi hai bước -> từ này dùng để diễn tả tình huống nghĩ rằng mình thực hiện, hoàn thành đạt được thành tựu nhưng lại có điều xấu xảy đến khiến bạn rơi vào tình thế còn tồi tệ hơn lúc đầu.

Ví dụ
One step forward, two steps back. That's the march for gender equality at the top of New Zealand's biggest listed companies (công ty niêm yết). The imbalance (mất cân bằng) between men and women at the helm (ở cương vị lãnh đạo) of our large public firms has long been an embarrassment.

For a month we have waited for Auba, Lacca and Pepe to play together yet it’s one step forward, two steps back, with one of the most uncreative midfields (trung tuyến) we have played with at the Emirates. It was another big fixture where too much focus was put on our opponents’ strengths and not ours.

Few things went right for UConn women’s soccer in Margaret Rodriguez’s first season as head coach. After a slew of injuries hit before the year even began, the team struggled to gel on the field as the Huskies were seemingly constantly stuck going one step forward, two steps back. Positives were often washed out with an avalanche (dồn dập) of negatives and by the time Rodriguez felt the team was getting on the right track, the season ended.
