"Have a broad back" = có một tấm lưng rộng -> cụm từ này nghĩa là không bị ảnh hưởng bởi những lời chỉ trích hoặc phán xét; có thể giúp đỡ hoặc tư vấn cho người khác mà không mệt mỏi.

Ví dụ
Have a "broad back" when criticisms (lời chỉ trích, phê bình) and insults (lời lăng mạ) are made - when possible, gently correct.

“We had a broad back and a lot of patience from the company, because it takes time and money. The company had the perspective (quan điểm) of ‘go for it and don’t worry about the money.’”

You can get criticised, but you have to have a broad back to last as long as I have really. Although things are hurtful - things have happened at school - the kids can take it a bit more. But I say you’ve got to bite your tongue.

Quesada answered by recalling the conversation he had with former Marvel Editor in Chief Tom DeFalco shortly after Quesada got the job. DeFalco told Quesada “you have to have a broad back – and if you don’t you should quit right now” because the negativity comes with the job.
