"Give (one) a pasting" = Cho ai một trận đòn nhừ tử; thất bại nặng; bị đánh bại dễ dàng hoặc bị chỉ trích và trừng phạt nghiêm khắc.
Ví dụ
When asked if he wants him to come back to give him a pasting, Joshua laughed and said: “Would you?”
Hearn Jr mimics (nhại, bắt chước) his outrage (xúc phạm, sỉ nhục). “I won a scrappy (hay gây gổ, cãi cọ) fight. The floor was carpet tiles so every time you went to throw a punch they’d come up. I was buzzing but said to dad: ‘I can’t believe they got my name wrong.’ He said: ‘I told them to call you Eddie Hills otherwise they’d try to give you a pasting because of me.’”
It’s 1995 and Eddie Hearn is standing in the ring at Billericay Boxing Gym, a picture of terror and relish (lôi cuốn). His father has promised to give him “a pasting to teach him life’s lessons”, to remind his cocky, Jack the Lad 16-year-old son that he is the one who placed the “silver-spoon” in his mouth. They are both wearing six-ounce gloves, so thin you can feel the knuckles (khuỷu) through them, and Eddie tucks them to each cheek, glimpsing (nhìn lướt qua) at his father through the cracks as the bell rings.
