"Batten down the hatches" = đóng chặt các cửa của tàu -> sẵn sàng chờ đợi điều xấu nhất, điều tệ nhất sắp xảy ra.
Ví dụ
Businesses are focused on survival - everyone's battening down the hatches.
Coronavirus is forcing China, Australia's largest dairy customer, to batten down the hatches but Freshagenda analyst Steve Spencer thinks there's little likelihood (khả năng xảy ra) farmgate milk prices will suffer.
“General Motors, Holden’s parent company, has been making its exit from right-hand-drive markets for a couple of years now, so there has been a global decision to batten down the hatches in case of another global financial meltdown (khủng hoảng), and there has also been a move towards electric vehicles in a big way – so simply put, it was just not viable (có thể làm được) to produce right hand drive vehicles for a small market like Australia,” he said.
