"(Someone's) back is turned" = (ai) quay lưng đi -> cụm từ này nghĩa là ai đó đang nhìn hướng khác; ai đó bị xao nhãng, không tập trung; vắng mặt; quan tâm đến chuyện gì khác.
Ví dụ
Some pets can help themselves to our festive treats by raiding (lục lọi) the bin or sneaking into cupboards while your back is turned, so it’s important to keep festive food well out of your pet’s reach.
‘They’re loving and cuddly (thích được vuốt ve) and always excited to meet new people. They’ll do anything for a belly tickle. It’s hard to believe the little demons they turn into when your back is turned.’
Having a plan is just as important. Just in case someone comes at you, you need to be prepared to fight them off. Walk to your car with your keys in your fist (nắm tay). Have the keys coming out between your fingers, it makes an easy weapon. And you don’t want to give thieves a chance to steal from you while your back is turned. That’s why they say to lock your car when you return your buggy at the grocery store.
