"Kick in the guts" = Cú đá vào ruột/một cú chí mạng -> Một cú đá/sự đả kích nặng và trầm trọng tới thể xác hoặc tinh thần của ai (physically or mentally).

Ví dụ
Townsville Mayor Jenny Hill wanted their new $290 million, 25,000 seat North Queensland Stadium to host the fixture, describing the NRL’s decision to pick Sunshine Coast as a “kick in the guts”.

Construction and demolition (sự phá hủy) waste producers face a potential levy (tiền thuế) of $20 per tonne (tấn). Canterbury Demolition director Lionel Green says that will be a kick in the guts for small companies like his.

"I think the law change the National Party put in place then, it was just a nasty gesture (hành vi dơ bẩn). It was nothing about reintegrating offenders or getting them ready for reintegration (tái hội nhập). It was just a nasty kick in the guts for them. So after the Supreme Court came out this year and said it's against the Bill of Rights and the Treaty, I thought Cabinet has to at least consider this. I took a paper to Cabinet and they agreed we should put the law back to the way it was before 2010 and that is what we are going to do," he says.
