'Turn a blind eye' có một từ mới là blind, nghĩa là mù. Vì thế, turn a blind eye có nghĩa là cố tình lờ đi, hay giả vờ không biết. Thành ngữ này xuất xứ vào năm 1801, khi một sĩ quan trong hải quân Anh là Lord Nelson muốn tấn công một chiếc tàu địch, nhưng lại được lệnh của cấp chỉ huy là phải rút lui. Lord Nelson, người bị chột mắt, đã đặt lệnh này vào mắt mù của ông để giả vờ không nhìn thấy lệnh này, rồi ra tay tấn công và cuối cùng đã thắng trận.

Ví dụ

When my kids are at home, I make sure they eat healthy, nutritious (bổ dưỡng) food. But when they visit my mom, she gives them lots of sweets (đồ ngọt). I really shoud stop her, but I know she only wants to spoil them a bit. That’s why I turn a blind eye, and ignore all the cookies (bánh bích quy) and candy (kẹo) she offers them.
