"Clear the deck" nghĩa là gì?


"Clear the deck" = rời khỏi boong tàu (chuẩn bị chiến đấu) -> nghĩa là dừng làm điều gì để tập trung vào việc quan trọng hơn; nghĩa khác là chạy trốn, rời đi rất nhanh.

Ví dụ
Since the AIIMS project is the biggest issue of Ahirwal these days, we were hopeful that the CM would say something conclusive (thuyết phục) during his poll meetings to clear the deck for setting up of the AIIMS project that has been put on the back burner for several years now. 

Two players who fit our comparison (so sánh) needs are Eddie Murray and Mike Piazza. But before we get to the matter of comparisons, we need to clear the deck about a still simmering debate regarding HOF-eligible (thích hợp) players…

I have given up on my "Will Smith rings the bell tradition" that made the list each of the last two seasons, but I won't let go of this one. Doc Rivers has made it abundantly clear that he doesn't want to limit Embiid exclusively to the post. In fact, he went so far as to condemn that strategy when the topic was brought up (mang lên) recently.

Should he push forward with an environmental impact report for the area in the hopes of getting four council votes at the end? An EIR would clear the deck of potential lawsuits (kiện cáo) and allow businesses to come in. Getting the ball rolling sooner could save valuable time when a typical EIR takes about 8 months to complete.
