"Hold that thought" nghĩa là gì?


"Hold that thought" -> nghĩa là nhắc ai ghi nhớ điều vừa nói và tiếp tục thảo luận hoặc để sau. 

Ví dụ
Hold that thought a minute while I turn to the second issue (vấn dề). A few years back as Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign started firing up, various commentators (including me) took to debating whether Trump was a fascist (phát xít). John Michael Greer wrote around that time that the parallel was absurd.

Seventeen years later, Trump is out of reach even for a berserker (kẻ điên) like Baron Cohen. Nonetheless, in the madcap (bốc đồng) travelogue sequel Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, he returns to circle his old prey. The US president does not appear, but is everywhere in spirit. Starring in the flesh — and then some — is his lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Hold that thought.

Okay, so hold that thought for when we get to the what they’re being used for now. But I do want a little bit of history out of you first. Ten years ago, plus or minus, QR codes kind of come on the scene in a biggish way. But as you say, in this piece, they were just terrible.

Now, some of you may be clutching (giữ chặt) your pearls and thinking, “why goodness gracious (tốt bụng), Jessica. I just had no idea what Mr. Trump was going to do. I feel TERRIBLE and wish I knew then what I know now!” Hold that thought.
