Ví dụ
Brewster said he is looking forward to making that case before the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, which will rule on whether to disqualify (loại) Medina Spirit. Essentially, there is an attempt to kick up a dust cloud of details that would obfuscate (gây hoang mang) the bottom line: The horse tested positive for a banned substance (chất cấm), and it’s the fifth time Baffert has had a positive test with a high-profile horse in the last year.
It’s no more of a stretch (phóng đại) to imagine that the unions decided to kick up a dust storm of disputes around DeSantis’s teacher raises precisely to prevent the public from noticing that a Republican governor, who is already being talked about as a 2024 GOP frontrunner, presided over a massive raise for public school teachers.
Indeed it would. It wasn't the most eloquent (hùng biện) quote of James' career, but like almost everything he says on the record, there was some calculation behind it. He knew it would kick up a dust storm. Not to mention he has returned to his annual (hằng năm) tradition of making passive-aggressive comments about his team's roster.
Handing over the responsibility (trách nhiệm) can cause the ego to kick up a dust storm! We may find ourselves thinking that of course we can do it better. We know a better way. But guess what? Maybe our way is not better. We don't know it all. We couldn't possibly.
