"Shot to pieces" hoặc "shot full of holes" = bị bắn nát thành các mảnh nhỏ hoặc đầy các lỗ nhỏ -> cụm từ này nghĩa là bị bắn nhiều lần; sụp đổ, bị phá hủy hoàn toàn.
Ví dụ
In Europe this week the public confusion (hỗn độn, rối loạn) about Brexit is, if anything, even more pronounced now than in the USA. Quite simply, English credibility (sự tín nhiệm, lòng tin) is shot to pieces. No one here believes a word the floundering new British prime minister Boris Johnson says.
It’s easy to understand why TB can find a welcome home in people who live on the streets. Their immune systems (hệ thống miễn dịch) are low and their lungs (phổi) are often shot to pieces through smoking, both cigarettes (thuốc lá) and drugs (ma túy), as well as constantly (liên tục) breathing in the city’s dirty air.
Manchester United product Campbell, 32, signed for Town in August and missed the traumas of relegation (sự xuống hạng) which left many of the remaining players with confidence levels shot to pieces. “The club was in the Premier League for the last two seasons but for the last 18 months they have been under the cosh so it’s always going to take some time to get the confidence back,” said Campbell.
