"You could cut the atmosphere with a knife" nghĩa là gì?
27 Dec, 2020
"You could cut the atmosphere with a knife" = có thể cắt không khí bằng một con dao -> nghĩa là tình huống rất căng thẳng, dễ xảy ra xung đột.
Ví dụ
The fear was palpable (có thể cảm nhận được). I know what it means to say you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. Living through the Troubles takes its toll I believe. So many bad things, they build one on the other, year after year. I still have dreams about being in Belfast in vaguely (ngờ ngợ) perilous (hiểm nghèo) situations, yet I know I was one of the lucky ones.
The place was like a boxing ring. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife and I remember asking myself: ‘What the hell am I letting myself in for here?’ But eventually, Jock walked towards me and said just three words. Two of them were ‘You’re on!’ And I was.
Our bodies literally vibrate (rung lên). How we feel sends off the vibration - an energy that leaves our bodies. Eg, have you ever walked into a room and you feel like you could cut the atmosphere with a knife?
