Ví dụ
Looked lively from the start and had a few half-chances fall wide of the mark. Continued to get into good positions but looked as though he needed the run-out.

As Hong Kong’s summer of dis­content trudges (sự lê bước, đi chậm chạp) on, compar­isons to the deadly riots 52 years ago, when leftist-inspired unrest rocked the British colony (thuộc địa), continue to appear. When attempts are made to draw lessons from events of the past, some analogies are appropriate and help illuminate the present day while others fall wide of the mark.

Although this exercise is meant to be comprehensive, Money has noted before that differences in methodology (hệ phương pháp, phương pháp luận) or errors in tabulating (lập bảng kê) aid can mean that estimates can fall wide of the mark. Another thing to keep in mind is that although these tools can show how much a given institution gives in aid on average, remember, as the saying goes, your mileage (lãi, lời lộc) may vary. Household income and academic performance are two major variables that can impact how much assistance a family actually receives.
