"Play (one's) ace" = Tung chủ bài ra/quân át -> Dùng cái gì mạnh nhất/thế mạnh của mình để lấn át hoặc giành lợi thế trước ai; làm điều thông minh/phi thường để vượt lên.
Ví dụ
"You don't play your ace card when the championship is over. You would have done it in the first half of the season in 2020," he added.
"I learned a long time ago, and I probably read this in a book: play your aces," Smith said. "Don’t play a two or a three and think ‘I’ll play my ace later.’"
"O Fisherwoman, you are a mystery/ You bring us the freshest fish, the aroma's for free/ We see you fighting and jostling for space/ In the local train compartment (ngăn, gian), where you play your ace/When someone errs to pick on you/ You unleash the attack on the noses before they can argue!" goes Abhijeet Kini's rhyme facing his caricature (tranh biếm họa, châm biếm) of a Koli fisherwoman, with a veni in her bun and the catch of the day piled up before her in two baskets. A ravenous (ngấu nghiến, tham lam, đói lắm) cat eyeing the mackerel (cá thu) in her hand completes the quintessential (phần tinh chất, tinh túy) snapshot from Mumbai's fish markets.
