"A little green" = hơi xanh -> cụm từ này nghĩa là còn non trẻ, thiếu hoặc thậm chí chưa có kinh nghiệm trong một lĩnh vực, chuyên ngành hoặc kỹ năng nào. Bên cạnh đó, cụm từ này còn được dùng để miêu tả vẻ bề ngoài xanh xao, nhợt nhạt, ốm yếu của người nào đó (biểu hiện của tình trạng sức khỏe không tốt), giống như mới vừa nôn, ói xong.

Ví dụ
“I was just waiting for the moment. I didn’t want to move too early because I knew I had a lot of horse under me. I was trying to wait as long as I could. He lugged in a bit, he’s still a little green. I had a lot of horse at the end. He’s a nice horse,” Franco said.

Armory doesn’t have Pinatubo to contend (tranh đấu) with today after chasing home the Godolphin superstar at The Curragh last time. That was over 7f and this extra furlong should be right up his street. Despite having a couple of Group wins to his name, he looked a little green last time and has a lot more to offer.

Make sure you apply the words of wisdom throughout your career, not just when you are a little green behind the ears. Pay special attention to the new trends and developments within your industry, as well as seize (chộp lấy) on every opportunity to attend training sessions that apply to your job. As they say, change is here to stay. The key for you is to remain ahead of the change curve.
