"Short, sharp shock" = ngắn, sốc đột ngột-> hình phạt/biện pháp bất ngờ, gây sốc, nghiêm khắc nhưng hiệu quả.
Ví dụ
According to economic projections (dự đoán kinh tế), Savills has predicted a ‘short sharp shock’ in UK housing transactions (mua bán) as a result of frozen activity (hoạt động đóng băng) caused by government interventions (can thiệp) introduced to slow the spread of Covid-19.
Almost two years on from the tragedy (thảm kịch) David, now 70, said “the pain is still there” and not a day went by without a thought of his son. David added: “You don’t know what the outcome (kết quả) would be if there was a short, sharp shock. That sort of punishment (trừng phạt) when you’re 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 - you don’t know if that would be the answer.”
People interpret (diễn tả) this in different ways, hence the hoards (tích trữ) of people in tourist hotspots like Filey last weekend. In my view, for public health and in the interest (lợi ích) and business and the economy (nền kinh tế), we would be better of with the short, sharp shock of telling everyone to stay at home apart from workers critical to the battle (trận chiến) against Covid-19.
