"Get out with (one's) life" = Thoát khỏi vẫn giữ được tính mạng -> Thoát được mối nguy hiểm và tai họa mà vẫn còn sống/không chết.
Ví dụ
Cordisco knew all about rigging and fixing wiring, but he was helpless when, at 1 p.m. on Presidents Day, bricks began “raining down” from above and the building collapsed. “I was happy to get out with my life,” he said. “Five people died. If it happened an hour later, the movie theater next door would have been full of kids.”
With the fire blocking his escape route, the man was forced to take an "alternative route" out of the building. "He was very lucky to get out with his life." Volunteer firefighters from all around the region attended the fire, and crews used six pumping appliances and five tankers to subdue the blaze. "There was quite a huge amount of vehicles, everyone was very busy."
Mansour had been selling Houseman smaller amounts marijuana (cần sa) for multiple years. Mansour claimed he was defending himself against an armed robbery. “I know I did what I had to do to get out with my life,” he said at the sentencing. The judge previously said Mansour’s version of the events is more plausible (hợp lý, đáng tin cậy) than Houseman’s version, though Mansour’s infliction of six stab wounds was excessive, beyond self-defense (tự phòng vệ).
