"Cloak-and-dagger" nghĩa là gì?

"Cloak-and-dagger" = áo choàng và dao găm -> nghĩa là sử dụng hoặc dính líu vào bí mật, lừa bịp, hoặc các hoạt động gián điệp.

Ví dụ
NIGEL Farage has received a cloak-and-dagger approach (lối vào) for a seat in the House of Lords (Thượng viện), we can reveal (tiết lộ). The Brexit Party boss has been sounded out for a peerage by allies of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a source said.

While the Opposition alleged (bị cáo buộc) that the government had a role in the snooping (chõ mũi), the latter brought up the “bugging” of then finance minister Pranab Mukherjee’s office during the UPA regime in 2011 — is only another version of this cloak-and-dagger drama that’s old hat for Indian politicians.

Cummings’ work in Russia was less cloak and dagger than Thornberry’s letter makes out. Upon graduation (tốt nghiệp) from Oxford - where he studied Russian history - Cummings worked to set up an airline connecting the Russian city of Samara with Vienna in Austria. The airline itself made only one flight and went bust in 1998, when Russia’s rouble (đồng rúp) collapsed (sụp đổ). Sounds like impressive work for a supposed Russian spy.
