“Could screw up a two-car funeral” = có thể phả hỏng đám tang chở bằng hai xe -> nghĩa là làm sai, quản lý công việc tệ; vô ích, vô dụng.
Ví dụ
The second example comes from Gabriel Sherman’s latest spelunking (sự thích khảo sát hang động) into White House politics for Vanity Fair. Mostly, the piece is about how policymaking down in Camp Runamuck has devolved into the hands of the president*’s son-in-law. The Dauphin, of course, is a cold, vengeful spalpeen (quân vô lại đầy căm thù) who could screw up a two-car funeral if you spotted him the hearse. But, again, that’s not our concern here at the moment. Instead, we should look at another anecdote involving the president* and the Trumpist governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.
So here we are, many hours after the high school gymnasiums and rec centers have been swept clean, and thousands of Iowans have gone back to their lives unencumbered by Scandinavian film crews. And we still don’t know who won the Iowa caucus. We need not belabor the facts of the case. The Iowa Democratic Party clearly could screw up a two-car funeral if you spotted it the hearse. The app didn’t work. The party bunkered itself as soon as the magnitude (trọng đại) of the derp became clear. At the small precinct (ranh giới) where I attended a caucus (cuộc họp kín của ban lãnh đạo một tổ chức chính trị), the party didn’t even manage to get the proper paperwork to the people organizing the event, and that was long before the general meltdown.
I do have my concerns that NASCAR plans to thoroughly inspect the top three finishing cars in a time span of 90 minutes so the race results can be made official. Given that time constraint and some of the complex technical issues that need to be resolved, my fear is corners will get cut at least occasionally. Some will argue given a decent amount of inspectors well versed in the technical subtleties of race cars that’s plenty of time to get the job done. Previously, NASCAR took cars back to the R&D center and inspected them over the course of days, not minutes. And sometimes the sanctioning body still messed up. In fact, any student of the sport will likely agree with the suspicion that NASCAR could screw up a two-car funeral in a town that has just one traffic light ….in New Jersey.
