"Scent blood" nghĩa là gì?


"Scent blood" = đánh hơi thấy máu -> nghĩa là lợi dụng điểm yếu của đối thủ để tạo lợi thế cho bản thân.

Ví dụ
England will be without Owen Farrell, Jamie George and Ellis Genge for Saturday’s game against South Africa, the first meeting between the two sides since the 2019 World Cup final, and the Springbok front row, in particular, can scent blood in the water once again.

Shire rallied and reduced the deficit (tiền thiếu hụt) on 52 minutes when Harrow ducked and dived his way over. Mair's conversion and subsequent penalty cut the deficit to 10 points. With Caithness penalty infringements (vi phạm) mounting, the visitors could scent blood.

Should they impress the Taskmaster, he will reward them with points and the occasional (thỉnh thoảng) admiring word. But should they stumble or show any kind of weakness… he’ll scent blood and pounce on them like a puma.
