"(One's) knees knock together" = hai đầu gối chạm nhau -> nghĩa là run rẩy một cách mất kiểm soát do lạnh, sợ hãi hoặc lo lắng.

Ví dụ
FOURTEEN floors up on the windswept roof of the St Giles London hotel it’s bitterly cold but that’s not why I’m shivering. The fear of dangling myself over the edge is what’s making my knees knock together.

It could be worse. In many countries, a government shutdown can mean something more ominous — a takeover. That’s what happened to King Belshazzar. Power changes hands often in the Bible, including the night “his knees knocked together.”

“This is scarier for me because I’m out of my comfort zone and don’t have a song or a microphone to lean on. People say that I’ve done shows before so I’m experienced, but Strictly is completely different. It’s well out of my control, which being in the dance off in week 10 proved. I’m so nervous before each dance, I have sweaty palms and my knees knock together.
