"Play to the gallery" = Đưa ra trưng bày -> chiều theo thị hiếu tầm thường của quần chúng.
Ví dụ
Jimmy Kimmel never graduated from college, but he can play to the gallery and pretend the Republicans are idiots or villains (côn đồ, kẻ hung ác).
They become emboldened (khuyến khích, làm cho táo bạo) to adopt or implement drastic, erratic, and even dangerous policies either to play to the gallery, or further entrench their hold on power. In the long term, these policies undermine stability, weaken institutions, and even compromise national security.
Mr Johnson risks repeating a familiar and weary strategy. Rather than engaging with the contents and pace of the talks, it appears the prime minister would rather play to the gallery – threatening to walk away from the negotiations or pledging to never surrender fishing waters. This will run down the clock towards the next cliff edge in December, where he will face a choice between a narrow deal, opting for an economically damaging “no deal”, or extending the timeframe for talks. If the past is any guide, he will yield in the endgame to the EU but will be too busy taking a victory lap to spell out the concessions he has made. One can only hope for the country’s sake that in the year ahead reality will have a larger impact than Mr Johnson’s bluster.
