"Play the world's smallest violin" nghĩa là gì?


"Play the world's smallest violin" -> nghĩa (mỉa mai) là kịch tính hóa lời than vãn của ai (khi nói vậy thường xoa ngón trỏ và ngón cái vào nhau, giả vờ chơi "chiếc violin nhỏ nhất thế giới").

Ví dụ
While this “problem” only elicits (gợi ra) others to play the world’s smallest violin for Cincinnati, it means many of the Bengals’ promising wideouts won’t get much playing time this year.

Think of how many times having the world tiniest violin would come in handy in daily life! Is your friend sad about something inconsequential (vớ vẩn)? Just play the world's smallest violin to lighten (làm dịu) the mood. Are you cursed with peculiarly small hands? Then this violin is perfect for small people with small hands. But after all, the best thing about the world's smallest violin is the accomplishment you get from playing it well. Playing a small violin is no easy feat after all. 

‘Obviously much worse things were going on, so I don't want to play the world's smallest violin, but it was difficult for us as a band to not play the songs. ‘None of the songs on the album have ever been played live, other than Nightmares.’ The latter dates back to 2018 and soundtracked a key moment in Michaela Coel’s multi award-winning BBC show I May Destroy You.

Allow me to play the world’s smallest violin…If it weren’t for Loomer’s over-9000 Dunning-Kruger, she’d be a lot less in the red by now. Pride comets before the fall, methinks.
