"Unring the bell" = bỏ tiếng chuông rung -> cụm từ này nghĩa là những việc mà đã làm rồi thì không thay đổi được, cũng như việc đã bấm chuông rồi thì không thể thay đổi được nó nữa.

Well, we’ve learned that we don’t need fossil fuels nearly as much as they may have thought we did. Oil prices have cratered on the world market because fewer people are driving cars or working in factories. The benefits to our environment have been noticeable. Our air and water have been visibly cleaner in some historically dirty places as a result of the COVID-19 shutdown. Of course that will change as people return to work and our economy gets back to something approaching what we consider to be normal. But we can’t unring the bell.
On Thursday, with Uber poised to report a deep falloff in second-quarter revenue, the focus will be on whether San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ethan P. Schulman thinks the companies have had a fair chance to make their cases based on what Uber argues is a “woefully undeveloped factual record.” The argument carries weight because it will be hard to “unring the bell” if Schulman orders immediate compliance by the companies, according to Garden. If he does, it’s possible but not certain that Uber and Lyft could block the order while they appeal, she said.
First, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made the sensible announcement that for 2020 alone, movies that were slated for theatrical releases but could only stream due to the ongoing pandemic would be eligible for Academy Awards. Given that it’s unclear whether movies will be back as theatrical experiences in this year of covid-19, it was the only choice, unless the academy had already decided to hand out all the trophies to Harrison Ford and an animated dog in “The Call of the Wild” or sad Ben Affleck in the sports tearjerker (phim lấy nước mắt khán giả) “The Way Back.” But having agreed to consider streaming films under extraordinary circumstances, it may be difficult for the Oscars to unring the bell.
