"Down on (someone's) luck" nghĩa là không may mắn, gặp vận rủi, cơn đen.

Ví dụ
"When you feel like you lose it all or when you feel you're, you know, down on your luck, just kinda keep your chin up and, you know, just wait for the brighter day," said Christina.

It’s also simply not very intelligent to create a film — especially in a time when mass murders (vụ thảm sát hàng loạt) are a nearly constant fear in our country ­— that portrays (miêu tả) violence as a natural reaction to just being down on your luck. There is no one to be helped by that kind of story.

You know that feeling when you’ve gone through a rough breakup and things haven’t quite panned out since? Maybe you’ve tried to get back into the dating game without much success, and you’re feeling pretty down on your luck. Then you happen to catch a glimpse (nhìn thoáng qua) of your ex on social media, and see that they’re having just as bad of a time in life as you are?
