"Get behind in" nghĩa là gì?

"Get behind in (something)" = Chỉ theo bóng đằng sau/cứ tụt lại phía sau -> Không thể làm công việc/bài tập hiện tại; tiến trình và hành động chậm hơn người khác; không thể hài lòng với số tiền mình phải trả/trách nhiệm tài chính.

Ví dụ
“I can’t say enough, ‘If you get behind in rent or think you will, please come see us,’” said Berman. “It’s much easier to take care of it now than later, especially while the funds are still available.”

She says her son is feeling conflicted. "He's a teenagers so he's like yay, school is out. But also at the same time, these grades count, he doesn't want to get behind in anything, they're not really supposed to be socializing with friends, so it's just really a cause for concern."

At this point, you might wonder what advice behavioural scientists have actually given the UK government regarding Covid-19. As a behavioural scientist whose job is to produce evidence for policy in Ireland, I certainly do. There should be a clear articulation of a strategy that is best for all, encouraging behaviours that everyone can get behind in a national collective effort, and that people can badger their fellow citizens to stick to. Instead, there are foggy statements of rationale, for behaviours that are disputed by national experts, that some people are encouraging their fellow citizens to stick two fingers up to. My mother is in her seventies and lives in Oxford, where I grew up. Her response to current official advice is unprintable (quá xúc phạm, quá khiếm nhã không in được (vì quá tục tĩu)).
