"Bumps and bruises" nghĩa là gì?


"Bumps and bruises" = sưng và thâm tím, trầy xước -> nghĩa là khó khăn, thăng trầm (nền kinh tế, ngành công nghiệp...).

Ví dụ
Dear Dave: I have had a good career and I intend to retire (giải nghệ) in about five years. Though there have been many bumps and bruises along the way, I have learned many things about people, working productively, and – most of all – staying positive despite the hardships I faced. 

Harsin said he anticipates (đoán trước) that everybody should be good to go when camp starts, outside of defensive tackle Jeremiah Wright, who is coming off an ACL injury from the spring. Otherwise, there are some small bumps and bruises such as hamstrings and rolled ankles, but most everyone should be available to practice. 

We need to make sure that we still have enough to withstand (chống chịu) the bumps and bruises that are likely to come in some form or another. He's part of the picture, obviously, and we need to factor that in and we need to consider him. But I don't think that just because he's coming back we sit there with our arms folded and say we're good.

The show may be endearing (được ưa chuộng), anchored by a man who values basic human decency above all else, but life is full of heartbreak and daily bumps and bruises.
