1. to draw a red herring across the track - đánh trống lảng
2. to divert the conversation - nói lái sang chuyện khác


Meaning:
1. A red herring is a type of strong-smelling smoked fish that was once drawn across the trail of a scent to mislead hunting dogs and put them off the scent.
2. a piece of information or suggestion introduced to draw attention away from the real facts of a situation.

For example:
  • Mother Thẳng:It’s bedtime Liên!
  • Baby Liên: Mom, how do ants feed their babies?
  • Mother Thẳng: Don’t know dear. Close your eyes now.
  • Baby Liên: But mama, do ant babies cry when hungry?

When her mother told her to go to sleep, baby Liên
  1. closed her eyes.
  2. gave her mother a goodnight kiss.
  3. talked about something else.
