Cách sử dụng
"Batten down the hatches" means to prepare for a difficult or stressful situation that could be coming soon. It comes from the world of boats, where sailors would use battens (long, narrow strips of wood) to cover the hatches (the openings on the deck) during storms to keep water from getting inside the ship. So, when you hear someone say "batten down the hatches," they are reminding you to get ready for something hard that might be on the way. It could be used in many different situations, like if a big storm is coming or if someone is getting ready for a big test or presentation.
