"Duck and cover" nghĩa là gì?

"Duck and cover" = cúi xuống (dưới hào) tránh đạn bắn tới -> nghĩa là né tránh vấn đề hay câu hỏi hóc búa.

Ví dụ
Mark Andrews: Prepping (chuẩn bị) for coronavirus? Think I'd rather duck and cover. There is a saying that if you fail (thất bại) to prepare, you prepare to fail. And one thing nobody can accuse (buộc tội) Angela Buttolph of is failing to prepare.

When it comes to the truth, do Republican senators duck and cover or stand and uncover? If former national security adviser John Bolton testifies (làm chứng, chứng tỏ) and says what his yet-to-be-published book reportedly does, that’s Colonel Jessupian-level bad news.

Terrible moments happen all the time. I guess the best we can do is to duck and cover and hope they miss us. Keep your fingers crossed, your heart hopeful and your eyes on those you cherish (yêu mến). We’re all players in that lottery whether we know it or not. May good fortune ride with you today.
