"So dry the trees are bribing the dogs" = khô đến nỗi cây cũng phải bám theo chó -> nghĩa là khô héo.

Ví dụ
IT'S SO DRY THE TREES ARE BRIBING THE DOGS -- means we could use a little rain around here.

"I was used to heat but this place was so dry the trees were bribing the dogs." - Irvine Welsh

Odder still are the strange, surrealistic phrases that emerge with the first heat of summer. For example: “It’s so hot, they’re feeding ice to the chooks so they don’t lay hard-boiled eggs.” Or: “It’s so dry, the trees are chasing the dogs.” Or: “It’s so warm, the cows are giving evaporated milk (sữa đặc không đường).”
