'An axe hanging over someone or something' = (người) bị đe dọa/có nguy cơ bị sa thải; (vật) có nguy cơ bị phá hủy hoặc kết thúc sớm.

Ví dụ
If this system was used today, Gold Coast, Manly and the Bulldogs would be the three sides with an axe hanging over their heads.

Sources also say the fourth-generation Mini range is likely to shrink, with an axe hanging over future versions of the cabriolet (xe mui trần) and the three-door hatchback.

We thought Brooks would have been fired (sa thải) at the end of last season, so the fact that he stuck around this long is already a surprise. Considering the ax hanging over him, we won’t be surprised if he’s the first NBA coach to be fired during the 2019-20 season.

Managers such as Jim McInally, boss at Peterhead for more than seven years, and, in the Premiership, Aberdeen’s Derek McInnes and Tommy Wright of St Johnstone, with five years plus of service, are very much the exception in an occupation where the spectre of an axe hanging over heads looms ever large (hiện ra rõ nét).
