"Hold someone to ransom" có từ ransom là tiền chuộc; cụm từ này nghĩa là bắt giữ ai để đòi tiền chuộc hoặc đòi ai phải nhượng bộ bằng cách đe dọa.
Ví dụ
He will not let Eriksen leave cheaply (rẻ) just because he would otherwise be free. If a player thinks he can hold him to ransom, he won’t win.
Given the popularity of the character, it’s likely that Sony would face a big backlash (phản ứng dữ dội) from fans if they tried to hold him to ransom and blocked him from appearing in future MCU movies, or even possibly as part of a new cinematic Avengers line-up.
Written by Red’s younger brother Nikolas, Dead Kids marks the 27-year-old’s first foray into dark comedy (hài kịch đen tối). It tells the story of a gang of beat-down high schoolers who plot to kidnap (bắt cóc) the class jock, who happens to be the son of a corrupt (biến chất) politician, and hold him to ransom.
