"Pale at the thought of" = tái mặt nghĩ về -> nghĩa là sợ hãi, lo lắng và mệt mỏi khi nghĩ về điều đang xảy ra.

Ví dụ
Be kind. So often we scoff (chế nhạo) at the everyday niceties (sự đúng đắn, tế nhị), at the empty smiles and faceless ‘how are you’s. So often we pale at the thought of ringing a friend we haven’t spoken to in a while. College, to me, now seems unreal, like a dream I had about someone else’s life; so often I wonder whether I should be disturbing my friends, emailing my professors, sharing my experience. I’ve decided to ignore those doubts, though. Physical self-isolation is bad enough. And trust me – if they’re your friends, they will always be happy to hear from you. Especially in a time like this.

If you turned pale at the thought of paying close to $1,000 to get the new iPad Pro and its trackpad-equipped keyboard cover, don't worry -- there will be a much more affordable alternative. Logitech has introduced a $150 Combo Touch keyboard case for the 2019 iPad, 2019 iPad Air and 2017 iPad Pro that includes a trackpad to take advantage of iPadOS 13.4's imminent mouse support. They all attach using Apple's Smart Connector and offer many perks similar to Apple's Magic Keyboard, including backlit keys and trackpad gestures.

Some gardeners pale at the thought of planting the above collection of species, typically grown indoors, in the ground outside. Greater attention than usual should be paid to the soil, which must drain well to satisfy the requirements of these tropicals (nhiệt đới). A major concern, of course, is protection from cold and, in truth, it would be better not to make a shade garden of these tropicals where winter freezes occur. But I have seen all of them growing well in the San Fernando Valley where overhead protection was provided by tall trees. In fact, the deeper the shade, the warmer the location, since heat absorbed by the ground during the day cannot escape to the sky at night, being trapped by foliage (tán lá) overhead.
