"A den of thieves" = sào huyệt của bọn trộm -> nơi diễn ra các giao dịch ngầm.
Ví dụ
Afterwards Mr Churchill boarded the plane saying something to the effect (tác động) that he thought he had landed on friendly territory (lãnh thổ) but instead had found himself in a den of thieves.
He described Nigeria as a den of thieves, deceivers (kẻ lừa gạt), the gullible (cả tin) and reprobates (tội lỗi). Recall that before now Kanu had alleged (cáo buộc) that Abba Kyari has “scampered” (lừa) to Cuba for Coronavirus treatment (điều trị).
The Evening Standard reports the man went to the "thieves' den," but the police weren't there when he arrived. When he called to find out where they were, they told him "sorry, we can't make it." After some "screaming and shouting (la hét)," the man got back his iPad and wallet. Police later apologized (xin lỗi).
