"Be played like a fiddle" = Bị chơi một cú lừa/bị ai đánh lừa một vố để đáp ứng mục đích của họ.
Ví dụ
Trump said he does not think Kim is manipulating the talks, but warned Washington will no longer be "played like a fiddle" as it had been in the past. "We're not going to be played," he said. "We will, I think, come up with a solution, and if we don't we leave the room. With great respect we leave the room and we just keep it going." Trump is slated for a historic sit-down with Kim in either May or June. If it materializes it will be the first time a serving U.S. president meets a North Korean leader.
As he has expressed little public reaction to the administration’s ineptitude with North Korea at the Vietnam summit or the fiasco (sự thất bại) in Venezuela, Trump allows himself to be played like a fiddle, complicit (đồng lõa) with the neocon’s (viết tắt từ neo-conservative–phe tân bảo thủ)) latest nefarious schemes (kế hoạch bất chính, hung ác) that reveal him as a second-rate player; deteriorating before the public with a history of clumsy international gaffes. There is no question that neither Bolton nor Pompeo are to be trusted and that Bolton’s over reach of authority is the key driver pushing for confrontation and divisiveness while Pompeo is a more personally shrewd team player and somewhat less of a loose cannon.
Almost two weeks after the Survivor: Edge of Extinction finale, fans are still wrapping their heads around the fact that someone who played only 13 out of 39 days was voted the Sole Survivor and awarded the million-dollar check that goes along with it. On one hand, winner Chris Underwood was afforded a chance to befriend the jury in a non-game setting and never had to deal with the consequences of asking for jury votes after voting people out (the basic premise of the game). On the other hand, he showed strategic chops in his very limited action (getting Lauren — who admitted to be played like a fiddle — to waste her hidden immunity idol on him), and made bolder moves (giving up his final immunity to take on Rick Devens at fire) than Gavin or Julie did in 39 days.
