"Sell the family silver" = bán bạc của gia đình -> nghĩa là bán đi những vật dụng có giá trị để kiếm lợi nhuận trước mắt, nhanh chóng thay vì giữ cho mục đích lâu dài hoặc tích lũy.
Ví dụ
Professor Tony Travers, of the London School of Economics, told the Bureau more local authorities (chính quyền) may now take the opportunity to sell the “family silver” to make ends meet.
Scottish Conservative local government spokesman Alexander Stewart said: “The SNP has cut council (hội đồng) budgets to the bone, and now local authorities are having to sell the family silver to compensate (đền bù).
It was valued very carefully by a number of different people but it was decided that the bank had a credit (tín dụng) crisis (khủng hoảng) not a liquidity crisis, so there was no need to sell the family silver.
