"Nail (something/someone) down" = đóng đinh xuống. Nghĩa bóng là tìm hiểu, xác định hoặc thành công đạt được, có được cái gì.

Ví dụ
Lyn: "Why did she leave you?"
Pat: "I don't know. We were fighting a lot." Pat tried to nail down the circumstances (hoàn cảnh) of their separations, but she found the details hazy (mờ ám).

One of the purposes of definitions (định nghĩa) is to nail down a set of words for a specific time, audience (độc giả), and purpose. After such a process, clarity (sự rõ ràng) is possible within this set of words, time, and audience.

Does it surprise you that the final thing to nail down before all hell breaks loose involves (liên quan) the church? “Certainly,” you might say, “if we are only going to nail down seven things, isn't there something more important than an essential (cần thiết) about the church?"

You won't nail down math without this particular hammer. Doing creative activities (hoạt động sáng tạo) for the sake of fostering (bồi dưỡng) creativity is like practicing to hammer— you get the swing down and you gain control. Then you're ready when that nail comes along.
