"Kick when they are down" = Đả kích/đá khi người ta tuyệt vọng -> Hãm hại, gây tổn thương hoặc lăng mạ khi người ta đang thất bại, đau buồn hoặc gặp khó khăn.

Ví dụ
As if things weren't bad enough at Villa Park, now West Brom fans have give them an almighty (hết sức lớn) kick when they are down. The latest image doing the rounds on social media shows a banner displayed at Villa Park mocking (chế nhạo) the club for it's current troubles.

Warburton, who is a Land Rover ambassador, continues: “Our defence coach Shaun Edwards said – and this is the rugby education you need as a young player – ‘what did you drop back for?’, and he [Williams] said ‘I thought they were going to kick’, and Shaun said ‘why would Australia kick when they are down by three points with two minutes to play? They are obviously going to run’.

Jeff Toale, funeral director for Toale Brothers Funeral Homes, says his worst moments came when holding services for “multiple family members passed away from overdose (dùng quá liều thuốc). It’s certainly sad, and there is a lot of defeat from the surviving family. Usually you see family members who have tried to help get their loved one on the right track, and then it’s the ultimate kick when they are down. Family members ask, ‘What could I have done more?’ But in reality, they did all they can. It’s just a crushing blow.”
