'Put the fear of God in (one)' = thêm nỗi sợ cho ai -> nghĩa là làm cho ai hoảng sợ, thất kinh hồn vía về hậu quả của thứ gì đó ví dụ như cư xử không đúng mực,...

Ví dụ
Things go really well at Canisius High School in Buffalo, New York. It doesn’t matter that the nuns (xơ, nữ tu sĩ) look like they are 93-years-old and put the fear of God in us holding their rulers. It doesn’t matter I’m the only Indian in Catholic school, and lots of kids call me “Gandhi.”

Martin demanded to be treated (đối xử) with regard, for himself but also for his position and for everyone else at The Times. He had so put the fear of God in everyone that publicists (nhà báo) and institutions kowtowed to me, making sure I was happy with my parking, my seat, that I had everything I needed.

There are the usual murderous clowns (anh hề giết người), zombies, and other monsters roaming the manor - ready to put the fear of god in you at any given moment. But it's the manor itself that is the most unnerving (khó chịu, mất can đảm). The corridors are tight, dark and unforgiving. The added sense of claustrophobia leaves you closed in and anxious, with nowhere to move if something does come at you.
