"Hardly earth-shattering" = Có vẻ không làm trái đất tan vỡ -> Không ngạc nhiên mấy.
Ví dụ
Study after study has reached the hardly earth-shattering conclusion that we largely prefer the sounds of nature to those of machines.
It’s a decision that was hardly earth shattering considering that Herring has been beaten out for the East Carolina starting quarterback (tiền vệ) job by Holton Ahlers in each of the past two seasons and that as a redshirt junior, his chance of ever winning back the position he held briefly early last year stood somewhere between slim (mỏng manh) and none.
In the past few weeks, it has become clear just how much. Brexit ‘grifters’ (kẻ lừa tiền, lừa đảo), to borrow a phrase from the classic 1990 movie, are roaming the country, occasionally helping companies cope with a significant yet hardly earth-shattering change in trading relations (quan hệ thương mại) with our closest neighbours, but rather more often delivering over-hyped, hammed-up warnings of disaster (thảm họa) to sell a service which is completely useless.
