"Gun-shy" -> nghĩa là sợ dùng súng hoặc sợ nghe tiếng súng nổ, nghĩa khác là do dự hoặc đề phòng cảnh giác khi làm việc gì vì từng gặp khó khăn vì những chuyện tương tự.
Ví dụ
The global shock caused by this pandemic (đại dịch) will take its toll (tổn thất) and local businesses can expect a more gun-shy consumer (người tiêu dùng). This will add pressure to already shaky businesses which now depend on robust spending if they hope to make up their losses of the last two months.
“Investors are gun shy. They don’t want to buy a property (mua đất) with 10 units and then people are not paying rent,” said Greg Levitt, the buyers’ agent at the Fisherville sale, discussing the current market. “And commercial – who wants to buy a big building when they don’t know when business is going to pick up?”
That doesn’t sit well with Republicans or many residents who are gun-shy about these types of massive money decisions considering the turmoil (rối loạn, lộn xộn) the county has been through in only the last year due to the contract shenanigans (bịp bợm, chơi khăm) of former County Executive Steve Stenger, who treated a much smaller but similarly uncommitted pile of cash, the $4 million the county annually makes off the River City Casino, as his personal piggy bank to reward campaign donors.
