"Cut (one) down in (one's) prime" = Hết thời kỳ huy hoàng/thời hoàng kim đã xuống dốc -> Kết thúc đột ngột/suy yếu nhanh chóng khi đang trên đỉnh sự nghiệp, phong độ/tài năng cao hoặc sức khỏe tốt.
Ví dụ
“We’ll see how it goes,” Simeoni summed up. “I prefer not to dwell too much, because I have too many regrets if I do. This whole business really cut me down in my prime. Now it’d be nice to just get justice, although I still fear that this could rumble on for months if not years.”
Selfridges offers the personalisation option there and then in its food hall, where staff use an in-store printer to create labels customers would normally have to order online to have customised. But Seamas admitted that staff at Selfridge's have now cottoned on to his game. Seamas said: 'I've printed three but I think they have cut me down in my prime now - I'm like the Eric Cantona of printing words that mean poo on Nutella jars.
Crouch is at the point in his career where he's keen to a sign a long-term deal. His stock has never been higher, coming off winning his first best and fairest. He'll be 27 by the start of the 2021 season and wants security. Who can blame him? The career of an AFL player is short and you never know when injuries will cut you down in your prime. And that, right there, is why there is an impasse (ngõ cụt, thế bế tắc, thế không lối thoát) between what Crouch and his management are after, and what the Crows are prepared to offer.
