"Button up one's mouth" = cài nút ở miệng lại -> nghĩa là im thin thít.

Ví dụ 
So all people that make these kinds of complaints, you should stay in your home and button up your mouth because you’re making complaints that are nonsensical.

Shortly after a Chinese journalist used a private message to contact a resident of Wuhan whose son had just died of Covid-19, his grieving mother was telephoned by the local authorities warning her to button up her mouth.

All three proposals have been floated before but have been too controversial (gây tranh cãi) to win traction (lực kéo) with state legislators (nhà lập pháp). The normally talkative Grigsby is lying low now, following orders from the Rispone campaign that he button up his mouth. It’s his mouth that got him into trouble.
