"Plow water" = Cày/xới nước -> Tốn thời gian làm điều vô ích/tốn công, làm điều phù phiếm.
Ví dụ
Comparing drivers from various eras (nhiều kỷ nguyên khác nhau) of motorsport is to plow water for many, but 1996 world champion and 22-time Grand Prix winner Damon Hill claims that Hamilton is the best driver to hail (hoan nghênh) from the UK.
Over the last few months, several engineers and scientists have come out with contradictory (mâu thuẫn) positions on the EmDrive. Some have claimed it's impossible, while others continue to plow water, justifying their work by saying the payoff (tiền trả) would be enormous (rất lớn).
The question now is what kind of long-term impact this will have on NBA operations in China. Some observers (người giám sát, trọng tài) have been quick to point out that the depth and breadth (sự rộng rãi) of the NBA’s popularity in China — NBA basketball and European soccer are by far the most popular foreign sports in the country, and have been for decades — means that Beijing’s censors (giám thị, người kiểm duyệt) will find that banning the NBA is a way to plow water.
