"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people" = chưa ai phá sản vì đánh giá thấp gu của người Mỹ -> nghĩa là những người bị lừa thường không biết mình bị lừa, từ đó họ trở thành thu nhập chính cho người khác, những người đi lừa.
Ví dụ
Well, I laugh about that. P.T. Barnum said something like, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people." I think that death really is a mystery (bí ẩn), and people get kind of a kick out of seeing the veil lifted.… The funeral, and the expenses (chi phí), and paying with MasterCard, and all the rest of it.
“Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people.” — H.L. Mencken. That quote was from a long time ago, and I doubt Mencken had ever seen anything like this, but the idea still holds.
I cannot understand the appeal (hấp dẫn) of this vehicle, the front end and that grill remind me of a basking shark with its mouth open consuming plankton or a catfish-take your pick. But then as H.L.Menken once observed: “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people”.
