27 Apr, 2021
"Play possum" -> nghĩa là vờ nằm im, giả chết, giả ngơ để không bị người khác trêu chọc, tấn công.
Ví dụ
The theme (chủ đề) of 2021 Earth Day is “Restore our Earth,” focusing on restoring the world’s “ecosystems through natural processes, emerging green technologies and innovative thinking.” Don’t play possum. Go to earthday.org. Join this year’s virtual festival. Celebrate nature and our glorious planet!
THOUGH the political process in Kashmir is deemed to have long resumed, other than a few leaders who have tried to respond (phản hồi) to the evolving situation, the political parties have chosen to play possum, behaving as if they don't exist.
Some of these tactics (chiến thuật) can be intimidating (đáng sợ) and scare people, but Lefferts assures, “It’s not in their nature to be aggressive — if given the chance they will flee (bỏ trốn).” These animals are also known to “play possum,” the act of going into a coma-like state to pretend they are dead.
Possums (thú có túi) aren’t particularly aggressive toward humans, Collins said. If you encounter a possum, just “maintain your distance, turn, walk away slowly.” The nearsighted creature will probably scurry away, or, if they feel threatened, they may, well, play possum.
