"Spot (something) a mile off" có a mile off là nhận ra điều gì nhanh chóng và dễ dàng -> cụm từ này nghĩa là đoán trước/biết trước điều gì rất chính xác.
Ví dụ
You can spot them a mile off, glancing anxiously at their handsets and mobile devices for their next fix. Occasionally, they manage to wean themselves off the drug when they realise the damage they are doing to their own peace of mind and the wellbeing of others.
The winter wheat at Rougham Innovation Centre will be getting a T2 this week. Crusoe (the dark green one) always a trialists (người tham dự cuộc thử thể thao) favourite as you can spot it a mile off and lets you know that you drilled something in the right place!

The stalwart (người khỏe mạnh, vạm vỡ) of children’s parties, with its distinctive, chequerboard of bright sponge, you can spot it a mile off. But despite having encountered it more times than I’ve had birthday-party-teas, I hadn’t heard its other name, until my brother-in-law exclaimed upon seeing my most recent bake, ‘oh! Window-pane cake!’ As soon as you’ve heard that term, it’s impossible not to see it as a child-like rendering of an old-fashioned window.
