05 Sep, 2020
"Rake over old coals" = cào xới đống than cũ -> nghĩa là nhắc lại/gợi lại chuyện cũ đã qua, thường là những chuyện không vui.
Ví dụ
This isn't the time to rake over old coals, but I can't resist (từ chối) a dig at the Scottish Labour hierarchy (hệ thống cấp bậc) who championed devolution as the best way of finishing off the SNP.
This is not to rake over old coals, but simply to say that in the period (giai đoạn) 1995-2019 we could have done so much more, if only national economic growth and the prosperity of the people – and not a political calculus – had been the central driver of our governance actions.
I don’t want to rake over old coals but that regime (chế độ) had a different way of doing things and created a different atmosphere.
