"Meet your Waterloo" nghĩa là gì?
18 Aug, 2021
"Meet your Waterloo" -> nghĩa là bị đánh bại, khuất phục bởi đối thủ quá mạnh hay vấn đề quá rắc rối, khó khăn.
Ví dụ
Don’t mess with China, or you’ll meet your Waterloo and also break your four Achilles’ heels. That’s the garbled, kitchen-sink warning China is throwing at President Biden after his order for intelligence agencies to probe (thăm dò) whether the coronavirus leaked from a Chinese lab instead of being transmitted from bats to humans.
You can do the same with a card drawn (rút ra) from the stockpile (dự trữ). But if you can't use the card you draw, discard it. When you run out of cards, you can turn the discard pile over to refresh the stock. You win if you can move all 104 cards to the foundations. If no more moves are possible, you meet your Waterloo.
But if you remain here, one day you will certainly meet your waterloo. And to the public, I want to call on them, let them continue to be law-abiding (tôn tọng luật pháp), they should have that implicit trust and confidence on the police and also share information, give us vital information about the whereabouts of these criminals.
