"Draw a curtain over (something)" = kéo tấm rèm bao phủ cái gì -> cụm từ này nghĩa là không đả động tới việc gì, cái gì.

Ví dụ
“The fact is, those areas still exist and there are still elements within them who can create problems at any particular time, so you really can’t draw a curtain over it and say that it has been solved,” said Forte, who urged (thúc giục) the public to assist the police in weeding out (loại trừ, gạt bỏ) criminal elements (phần tử tội phạm) by providing the police with information.

Answering the door at his home in Hexham, near Newcastle in northern England, Ian Clarke, the father of UK backpacker (khách du lịch phượt) Caroline Clarke, said he had knew of Milat's illness but had nothing more to say about him or the murder (vụ án mạng) of his daughter in 1992. "We are tired of telling the story," he said. "We really just want to draw a curtain over it. It's very draining."

Three years after Prince Rogers Nelson passed into the great beyond, his unfinished memoir (ký sự), The Beautiful Ones, is set to hit bookshops the world over. This wouldn’t have been a big deal in the case of most deceased (đã mất) musicians. Not because their stories wouldn’t be interesting enough, but because few icons have gone to the lengths Prince did to draw a curtain over every aspect of his personal life.
