"A bit beyond your ken" hoặc "beyond (one's) ken" nghĩa là vượt ngoài tầm hiểu biết. Ngược lại, "be in one's ken" là trong phạm vi hiểu biết.
Ví dụ
It was all, and the Captain admitted it, a bit beyond his ken.
In the summer of 2007, I called her to ask why they'd handed me a job that seemed a bit beyond my ken. By then, she had retired from most of her duties. “My memory is, we decided to hire the person, not the paper,” she said.
But it appears the omens (điềm báo) are no longer friendly. Apart from some personal misfortunes in recent times, including the beating he received in the hands of the IPOB members in Germany, he has been buffeted (đấm túi bụi) by certain forces, some of which appear to be beyond his ken.
It amused (buồn cười) him to think of her that way, calling to mind as it did the image of her as he had first seen her. Prim (nghiêm nghị), plain (đơn giản), and bossy (hống hách) of nature, a dowdy colonial spinster (bà cô không chồng ăn mặc tồi tàn xơ xác) with an air of command, she'd been something quite beyond his ken.
