"Take the low road" = Chọn đường tắt/đi đường xuống cấp, trái nghĩa với "Take the high road" -> Dùng những cách vô đạo đức, thấp hèn hoặc ghê tởm để làm việc gì; trong kinh doanh thì là việc cạnh tranh bằng cách hạ thấp giá cả hàng hóa để bán được.

Ví dụ
In the end, as much as people want to take the low road and make fun of Virgin's name, he's the one playing in the NFL right now and living out his dream.

Opposing counsel chooses to take the low road for a number of reasons. But instead of complaining about it, you will have to learn how to deal with it.

The title also poses the question: “Are you going to take the high road, or are you going to take the low road?” “I think having choices is empowering, and sometimes making the right choice, it might seem easy,” she says. “It’s not always the right thing. So, I just felt like it was kind of a good album for the time period that we live in.”
