"Fall/Drop/Go down like ninepins" có ninepin là con ky (trong trò chơi ky) -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đổ hoặc bị đánh ngã hàng loạt; không chống cự nổi, chịu thua, chết hàng loạt (có thể là do bệnh tật, trong kinh doanh...).
Ví dụ
As expected Prabhas’ Saaho opened brilliantly at the ticket windows but soon after negative feedbacks started doing rounds, everyone was expecting the movie to fall like ninepins, which surprisingly didn’t turn out to be the case as it comfortably entered 100 crore mark and is now inching towards 150 crore mark.
The stock market (thị trường chứng khoán) is in the third year of losses as the prices of shares (cổ phiếu) all across the board fall like ninepins. On Wednesday, the meltdown continued with the KSE-Index sinking by 550 points, dragging the index to settle at the end of day’s trading at three-year low 36,579 points.
Survival is often the name of the F&B game in Andheri. Restaurants keep opening and closing in the western suburb as if they are books on a shelf that you constantly rearrange, discarding some and replacing them with new titles. Only a few places have truly survived the test of time. And unless an eatery (nhà hàng, quán ăn) gets everything right, chances are it will fall like ninepins in the blink of an eye. The location needs to be spot on. The interiors (nội thất) must be inviting (thú vị, thu hút). The staff has to be affable (lịch sự, niềm nở). And the food and drinks are, of course, the most important elements that can make or break the success of a recent launch.
