"Stumble at a straw" nghĩa là gì?


"Stumble at a straw" = vấp phải cọng rơm -> nghĩa là bị cản trở/đảo lộn bởi vấn đề nhỏ nhặt.

Ví dụ
This was Kevin’s last opportunity to sample the MP4-29 before Australia. His morning’s running stumbled at a straw that required a long stop to cure – nonetheless, like Jenson yesterday, he was able to get back on track before the end of the morning’s session, and got a sizeable number of laps under his belt before the end of the day.

Last Friday, the New York Times dropped a story that instantly changed the conversation around the 2020 Democratic primary: Michael Bloomberg, the Times reported, was preparing to enter the race. His motive? Concerns that no one in the huge primary field can take out Donald Trump. But the wealthy ex-New York mayor (thị trưởng) may see his White House hopes stumble at a straw: almost no Democratic voters want him to run.
