"Under duress" nghĩa là gì?

"Under duress" có duress là đe dọa, cưỡng ép, bạo lực -> từ này nghĩa là phải chịu cưỡng ép, bị bắt phải làm điều gì.

Ví dụ
The four actors perform devised (âm mưu) scenes, some elliptical, others direct, in a non-linear collage to suggest life lived under duress.

Irealised that if I were to delve (nghiên cứu sâu) into the tattered remnants (tàn dư) of Reading and Leeds festival memories, which is something I only do under duress and if absolutely necessary, like washing the car, then it isn’t really the performances that stand out. 

Some doors are closed by choice and some under duress. The library door was shut due to the pandemic. So, I peeped through the keyhole and shot this picture. The pandemic locked us in for months on end. The frame perfectly describes the feeling. The door has been closed for so long that it has caught cobwebs (mạng nhện).
