"Roll over and play dead" = Lăn long lóc cho đến chết/lênh đênh, trôi dạt đến quay cuồng -> Từ bỏ và không thể tiếp tục sống hoặc đối mặt với vấn đề nữa.

Ví dụ

You need something about you. You need more than a few crumbs of talent. You need more than to be a one-hit wonder. You need to take your licks. You need to do the work. These fighters didn’t just bow down before him, roll over and play dead.

“As mentally tough as it is, it’s important that you find a certain balance. Try to find a safe space in your head. It’s easy to roll over and play dead, especially under such stressful circumstances. But one who has a strong mentality will find a way to deal with the stress.”
