Ví dụ
She continued: “What worries me is some people don't know, and they think: 'Ooh, get her – she cut me dead!' when I didn't see them at all.”.

They behaved towards me with a warmth, a sincere interest which for many months deceived and flattered me so that I was at a loss to explain why they not only did not invite me to their own houses, ... [b]ut ... when I met them on the street, [they] likely as not ... cut me dead. It was the very lack of condescension (sự chiếu cố, kẻ cả, hạ mình), the tactful omission (sự bỏ quên, bỏ đi khéo xử) from their conversation of anything which might remind me, to my embarrassment, that I was not of the sisterhood that finally enraged (nổi giận) me.

Lucan had become obsessed with the welfare (tiền trợ cấp, phúc lợi xã hội) of their three children. He snatched two of them as they walked in a park with their nanny, he kept them at his flat in Elizabeth Street but lost his case to win custody (sự chăm sóc, giám hộ). At the same time, as his gambling debts and other financial problems multiplied, he was blaming his estranged wife for his predicament (tình thế khó khăn, tình huống khó chịu, tình trạng khó xử). She in turn began to suffer from depression, her husband’s losing streak at the gaming tables adding to her stress. When she complained to her husband’s friends, they cut her dead.
