"Downhill all the way" -> nghĩa là (tình huống) ngày càng trầm trọng, tuột dốc không phanh; nghĩa khác là (công việc) đã qua những trở ngại khó khăn nhất, mọi thứ sẽ dễ dàng từ đây.

Ví dụ
In the words of the great British political observer Terry Thomas, he was an “absolute shower” when he spoke at his own inauguration (lễ nhậm chức) in 2017, and after that it was downhill all the way. But my belief held. Whatever Trump’s damaging and corrosive (gặm mòn) legacy in the US, it has not affected the relationship between our two nations. 

Dave Goldman, an ex-New Yorker and a graduate of the University of Chicago, taught generations of school kids in Marin. “In the 1970s, to be openly gay was fraught with (đầy) perils (hiểm họa),” he tells me. “Jobs were threatened.” Goldman first used cannabis at 18. He hasn’t ever stopped. “It’s been downhill all the way,” he says.

It was downhill all the way from there for Levon as Teimour took full advantage to grind out a 62-move win that left Levon needing to win both the next two games to take the match to a playoff.

When I turned 60 I thought that was the end: bus pass, I gloomed, sagging (lún xuống) contours, nobody will want to employ me; downhill all the way from now on. A totally outdated notion, as it turned out; I wish I had realised that I was beginning one of the happiest decades of my life.
