"Lick his wounds" = liếm vết thương -> nghĩa là tạm thời rút lui để hồi phục sau thất bại.
Ví dụ
“The man is obviously upset,” said the judge, adding he would not call Maniyogina back for a hearing on his outburst (cơn giận). “It’s probably something that’s better off to let him go back to his cell and lick his wounds. “I’m not going to do anything with it. It’s not an issue of my feelings.”
By the following morning, thousands of furious (giận dữ) protesters had gathered outside the Federal Chancellery in Vienna, demanding Strache's resignation (từ chức). A few hours later, a chastened vice chancellor quit both his posts, apologized to his wife and disappeared to lick his wounds.
When Paschel went home to lick his wounds from his Russian rejection (loại bỏ), he started a new relationship with Mary Wallace right away.
