"Get his undivided attention" nghĩa là gì?

"Get (one's) undivided attention" = Nhận được sự chú ý không bị phân tán của ai -> Trở thành tâm điểm duy nhất để ai chú ý/quan tâm.

Ví dụ
Do not be like Taylor Swift and sing a bunch of breakup songs. No, instead, say hi to his friends or family if you run into them, for example. By being mature, it also shows you are staying positive. Immaturity is a huge turnoff, and you will not get his undivided attention again if you start commenting with rude stuff on his IG pictures or deleting the ones of you two immediately after the breakup.

It was only on a whim that I asked Randy if he used an AR-15 for home defense. I’ve known him for over a decade, and he’s always been the consummate handgun connoisseur (người am hiểu; người thành thạo). Anything meticulously engineered, preferably steel and always in.40 caliber tends to get his undivided attention. When he responded that, yes, he does keep an AR-15 by the nightstand, I had to ask him why.

When I shout at my daughter to stop texting and talk to me, what she hears is me saying ‘stop enjoying this fabulously pleasurable experience that makes you feel good and connected to the world and instead concentrate on a grumpy, middle-aged woman who wants to nag you about your homework’. Not much of a choice, is it? The only way I can actually get her undivided attention is to take the phone away and refuse to give it back until she’s done the things I’ve asked her to do. It’s never a popular move.
