"Rises to the bait" = cắn phải bả -> nghĩa là phản ứng với lời nói/hành động khiêu khích/chọc tức của ai theo đúng cách họ muốn.

Ví dụ
Mourinho rises to the bait to take another swipe at Benitez. Chelsea manager responds to rival’s (đối thủ) wife’s jibe by referring to the Spaniard’s weight.

If he rises to the bait so frequently cast out on Twitter, we could imagine a rapid (nhanh chóng) and dramatic deterioration (đi xuống) of the relationship. Trump’s congratulatory (khen ngợi) tweet to AMLO may offer the slightest opportunity for a reset in the relationship.

Like a fool, Adam rises to the bait and by the end of the evening he’s sent her a photograph of his – ahem – intimate parts. The following morning, Rose then texts Leah moments before heading in for the official review about her allegedly-plagiarised essay: “I have something you should see. Nothing personal… or is it? Does this picture look familiar (quen thuộc)?”
