"Curse (someone or something) under (one's) breath" nghĩa là lầm bầm nguyền rủa, nói xấu, phàn nàn ai/điều gì.

Ví dụ
Grace pulled and slipped. She pulled and slipped again. She cursed under her breath.

Of course there is always traffic and everyone else is a bad driver so you grip (nắm chặt) the steering wheel (vô lăng) hard and curse under your breath at the other drivers while you bob and weave through traffic.

The clerk (nhân viên) runs out screaming and takes a shot aiming for the tire (lốp xe) but misses and hits the bumper (tấm cản) separating it from the car speeding ahead. The man curses under his breath and runs inside.

He muttered (lẩm bẩm) a curse under his breath, then sighed as he caught another disapproving glance (ánh mắt phản đối) from their unwanted chaperons (bà đi kèm). “I had intended to kiss you all the way to France, but I can see that's out.”
