"Wrap (one) up in cotton wool" có từ "cotton wool" là loại bông mộc, bông xơ (để làm cốt áo, làm nệm...). Cụm từ có nghĩa bao bọc quá mức, bảo vệ quá mức, chiều chuộng quá.
Ví dụ
I contacted them about the drinking. But I was basically told ‘don’t smother (ngộp thở) your son’ and ‘don’t wrap him up in cotton wool’.
Your natural instinct (bản năng tự nhiên) is to want to protect them in any way possible and if you could wrap them up in cotton wool to keep them safe, you would.
The shepherdess (cô gái chăn cừu), 33, who lives on a 100-acre farm near Otterburn, Northumberland, said: ‘I should wrap her up in cotton wool after she sold for that. You hope for a good fee but it was still a surprise (bất ngờ).'
The most important part of your business is the customer (khách hàng) and keeping the customer happy. Without them you have nothing, so we like to wrap them up with cotton wool. We’ve gone back to how gentleman’s boutiques (cửa hàng thời trang) used to be.
