"Off the boil" nghĩa là gì?


"Off the boil" = ra khỏi điểm sôi -> nghĩa là không được tốt, linh hoạt hoặc thành đạt như trước nữa, không còn ở đỉnh cao phong độ nữa.  

Ví dụ
I see why he’s continuing to get starts as he works very hard as a Mourinho-esque defensive winger, but he was a passenger offensively in this match. He’s not contributing (cống hiến) much apart from defense, and that’s where Spurs really needed the extra help especially in a match where Sonny was off the boil. Call this 2.76 stars, really.

When most men go off the boil, Gordon Ramsay turned up the heat, completing the hellish (khủng khiếp) Ironman at Kona in Hawaii in just over 14 hours in 2013. Six years later, at 52, he welcomed his fifth child and is now at the age when his father died of a heart attack.

Of course, if you’re wondering who the favourite is, you mustn’t know your darts at all! Don’t worry, we are here to clue you in. It’s ‘The Green Machine’ Michael van Gerwen! Under normal circumstances we would be talking about Mighty Mike being an almost unbackable frontrunner for the tournament he’s captured three times in this career (2014, 2017, 2019). But, MVG has been uncharacteristically (khác thường) off the boil in 2020.

Everton have gone off the boil after a flying start but still have the players to hurt Chelsea if Lampard’s players are not fully focused.
