"Put a downer on" có từ downer là thuốc giảm đau, thuốc trấn thống -> cụm từ này nghĩa là làm cho điều gì trở nên yếu đi/giảm bớt/nhàm chán/mất sự hấp dẫn.

Ví dụ
I don’t want to put a downer on the state of the WSL as I am really impressed with how far it has grown the game - we just need to keep pushing on and not stand still.

The 31st year of the competition was played in high spirits and even though numbers were down compared to last year, Yass Touch Association treasurer Bob Monkley said it didn't put a downer on what was another fantastically run tournament.

Hopefully things will improve on smaller wheels, but it’s also worth remembering that this car isn’t the finished product. We should, then, make an allowance for the interior, where we encountered a few plastics that weren’t quite up to production grade. Even so, the squishy dashboard (bảng đồng hồ mềm), large fabric inserts on the doors and expensive-feeling switches and buttons impressed us. Sadly, the dim-witted infotainment system with its yesteryear graphics and sluggis responses (phản ứng chậm) put a downer on things, especially because the hard-to-follow sat-nav got us lost several times.
