"Slam the door shut" nghĩa là gì?


"Slam the door shut" = đóng sầm cửa -> nghĩa là tạm dừng/ngăn chặn hoàn toàn điều gì.

Ví dụ
Former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake had this incredible run to slam the door shut on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

With retirement awaiting and his future now a game-by-game proposition (lời bày tỏ), dual Brownlow medallist Gary Ablett wound back the clock to have a huge say in the Cats' victory. Stationed at his half-forward home, Ablett kicked two goals in the crucial third quarter to slam the door shut on the Lions' hopes. 

And while the tryouts aren’t necessarily an indictment (bản cáo trạng) of how Jones handled his first live game action, he clearly didn’t slam the door shut on the opportunity to lock down the position — otherwise the Dolphins probably wouldn’t be hosting other players at his position on Tuesday to try to add to the roster.

He added that was frustrating (khó chịu) that the defense was unable to help slam the door shut in the first half--- particularly in the final moments of the first half where the Tigers gave up a four-play, 65-yard drive heading into the locker room for halftime.
