"Brown thumb" nghĩa là gì?

Có một kiểu người, trồng cây gì chết cây đó. Photo by Binyamin Mellish from Pexels

"Brown thumb" = ngón tay cái nâu -> nghĩa là người không có năng khiếu/khả năng trồng trọt, chăm sóc cây. Ngược lại với "green thumb".

Ví dụ
I didn't know what mulch (lớp phủ, bổi) was, didn't care enough to ask, and had such a brown thumb that flowers never survived my gardening efforts.

A withering stem (thân cây khô héo) of moneyplant (cây cải âm), creeping out of a beer bottle, reflects the finances of its home. Gardening is such fertile ground for metaphors (phép ẩn dụ), even for a brown thumb.

May is a great time to get your garden going and there are three important things you need to take into consideration: location, soil and seasons. A major miss in any of these three areas will confirm your misdiagnosis (chuẩn đoán sai) of brown thumb.

A garden consult (tư vấn): “This is a great way to receive professional guidance on your garden—especially if you’re just starting out now. There is no such thing as a ‘brown thumb,’ and we can offer practical solutions (giải pháp thiết thực) that create results you’ll be able to see immediately.”
