"He’s got plenty of arrows in his quiver" = có rất nhiều mũi tên trong ống tên -> nghĩa là dày dạn kinh nghiệm, có năng lực, tài giỏi.
Ví dụ
As a cardiologist (bác sĩ chuyên khoa tim), Dr. Marc Litt has plenty of arrows in his quiver for patients with heart disease: Medications that thin blood. Drug-coated stents that widen blocked arteries (động mạch). Implants that replace damaged valves in minimally invasive surgery. But when the 63-year-old physician was diagnosed with ALS in March 2019 at Massachusetts General Hospital, he was dismayed to see how little medicine had to offer him.
The president, however, had plenty of arrows in his quiver. After cooling to him last month, women voters have come roaring back to the president's side. Minorities — and especially Latinos, who factor large in swing states such as Florida, Colorado, and Nevada — were firmly in the president's camp. One big trend in this campaign was the strong turnout among Latinos. Young people are also loyal to the president, although not quite as enthusiastically as in 2008.
CBC Radio personality, movie and TV actress, musician, filmmaker – Sook-Yin Lee has amassed plenty of arrows in her quiver. The one she never expected to add, though, was "theatre artist." Whenever Toronto festival honchos Michael Rubenfeld of SummerWorks and Laura Nanni of Rhubarb, both big Sook-Yin fans, tried to lure her into creating something for the stage, she would always demur (ngần ngại, do dự). To put it mildly. "I always had a very visceral (theo bản năng) reaction, of 'No fucking way!'" says the forthright (thẳng thắn) Lee, who hosts CBC's long-running Definitely Not the Opera. "It seemed like just an obsolete (cổ xưa) art form."
