"Lull before the storm" nghĩa là gì?


"Lull before the storm" -> nghĩa là giai đoạn yên bình trước khi tai họa, khó khăn ập tới; 'yên bình trước cơn bão'. 

Ví dụ
The queue (xếp hàng) was building hours before the doors were to open, but many weren’t just waiting to fill bags of books, they were basking in the lull before the storm at Founders Annual Book Fair.

Political analysts (nhà phân tích) feel the virtual silence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on this issue where she has not made a direct reference to the WBSSC controversy even once is an indication of the lull before the storm.

The tension (căng thẳng), it would seem, was simmering (nổi lên) for quite some time and the uneasy calm was indicative of the fact that things were not normal and the fragile peace was the proverbial lull before the storm.

The day before the much-warned coming blizzard (trận bão tuyết), we enjoyed perhaps the most beautiful, warm, wind-free day we had seen all spring. The younger generations made comments of how could it be so nice if a bad storm is coming. This old native said, “Duck (cúi) your head; this is what we call ‘the lull before the storm.’ ”
