"Add insult to injury" nghĩa là gì?


"Add insult to injury" = đã bị thương còn thêm nhục -> nghĩa là cư xử, hành động khiến tình huống, sự việc trở nên tồi tệ hơn.

Ví dụ
Our elected officials should be more concerned with what is best for the people of Ohio, not how much money will be generated by the tax imposed (áp đặt). There are many forms of illegal drugs here in Ohio; let’s not add insult to injury by making marijuana legal for recreational use. Vote “no” on this ridiculous issue.

To add insult to injury, we keep making the same mistakes over and over again. We are still not treating the vaccine rollout as a race. The government will only think about “incentives” (khích lệ) when we reach 70 per cent coverage, with private businesses left to take the lead. We’re still ambivalent about rapid antigen testing.

To add insult to injury they even abused (quấy rối) his wife when she tried to intervene. For several days the pastor could not use his phone because he refused to comply with the demands of the callers.

Need we say that the only effect of words like these is to add insult to injury? For our part, we see no distinction (khác biệt) between maintaining racial distinction as such and maintaining it on the spurious ground of Indian inferiority (thấp kém).
