"I don't want to alarm you, but" nghĩa là gì?


"I don't want to alarm you, but" = tôi không muốn làm bạn lo lắng, nhưng -> câu dùng để thông báo tin xấu.

Ví dụ
I don’t want to alarm you, but this is a big one: you are going to lose your mind. We should explore this idea by way of a story. A man fills the sink (bồn rửa) to do the washing-up. He leaves the tap running while he attends to other business about the house. You know how it is. One child discovers the stairs. Another throws a bowl of plums down the toilet. Never a dull moment.

I don’t want to alarm you, but there’s a bug in your kettle. Technically, it’s a worm (con sâu) in the firmware of your Fellow electronic kettle, but it was put there intentionally (có chủ ý). What is the brand’s purpose for the worm? Are they trying to steal all your brewing data to sell to the Russians? Are they listening to our conversations around the coffee counter to get ideas for new products?

I don’t want to alarm you, but I’m going to present a statistic (thông số) that’s pretty alarming. Fiorentina’s top three strikers—Dušan Vlahović, Christian Kouamé, and Patrick Cutrone—have combined for 2 goals across 1182 minutes in Serie A this season. 

My husband Peter called for an ambulance and I remember him describing (miêu tả) how my face was drooping down one side, then I heard the operator say to Peter: “I don’t want to alarm you but I think he’s having a stroke (đột quỵ).” I owe Peter my life, because I could have died without his quick actions.
