'Pare (something) to the bone' = giảm, cắt giảm một cách đáng kể.
Ví dụ
This is a key part of the People’s Assembly’s strategy in challenging the orthodoxy (tính chính thống) that there is no alternative to the continued cutting of services that are already pared to the bone.
The first of 75 customer cars are rumoured (đồn đoán) to be completed late this year. At US$1.8 million, it’s more like a dream than a real thing, but it’s a useful reminder that sports cars are infinitely better when pared to the bone. Other cars deserving honorable mentions this year are the Polestar 1, BMW M2 Competition, Audi RS6, Porsche 718 Spyder, and Peugeot’s lovely e-Legend concept.
Competition law is struggling to come to grips with the internet. Web platforms have an incentive to pursue growth over profits. They operate on the basis that long-term customer lock-in is far more strategically important than the short-term benefits of quarterly profits. This often leads them to pare prices to the bone so as to maximize customer growth—behaviour that would ordinarily have attracted the attention of the competition regulator.
