"Tread on (one's) heels" -> nghĩa là theo dấu chân ai.

Ví dụ
The Baggies had a strong appeal for a second-half penalty when Youssouf Mulumbu ghosted past Charlie Adam, only for Adam to tread on his heels. Referee Howard Webb looked to assistant Mike Mullarkey, who waved play on.

The excitement and anticipation are palpable as my group of four tread on his heels, lured (nhử mồi) on by what Jane Goodall called the “pant-hoot” call — a kind of bonding ritual (lễ nghi) that allows chimps (tinh tinh) to communicate with each other.

Till recent past, whenever a tourist-gora-couple walked on Srinagar streets, the little children of the mohalla would assemble & tread on their heels all around & sing an old Kashmiri-distich like a chorus with hand-clapping: Memsahib- Sahib Salaam, Pate Pate Ghulam” [Welcome Memsahib- Sahib, your servants follow you] The happy and smiling Memsahib-Sahib would then stop walking for a while, look behind and give some toffees (kẹo bơ cứng) to the singing-children.
