"Have a tin ear" = có tai bằng thiếc -> nghĩa là không có năng khiếu hoặc hiểu đầy đủ về cái gì, không am hiểu âm nhạc; "đàn gảy tai trâu".
Ví dụ
Trump seems to have “a tin ear” when it comes to military issues, said Peter Feaver, a professor of political science and public policy at Duke University and former adviser (cố vấn) to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
He ignored covid red flags raised by US intelligence agencies in January. Despite evidence (bằng chứng) from South Korea on the efficacy (hiểu quả) of mass testing (thử nghiệm), it was too late by the time the US ramped its efforts up. All along, he seemed to have a tin ear for scientists.
New Zealand First promised the farmers that we would not have a tin ear, that we knew how critical they were to our economy, that we also believed that they were interested in reform (cải cách) as we are.
After a lengthy trade riff by Trump, with all his favorite lines (“The EU is just like China, only smaller”), Haley asked him about a trip she wanted to take to India to visit the Dalai Lama. The purpose of this trip was unclear, other than getting a photo op with the Dalai Lama, always good for an aspiring pol. But the minefield she strayed into by raising the China trade issue showed a political tin ear: once Trump wondered how China would view Haley’s seeing the Dalai Lama, the trip was essentially dead. This episode confirmed to Pompeo how far out of line Trump had allowed Haley to drift, and why it had to stop.
