"Down-to-earth" -> nghĩa là người thân thiện, xuề xòa và thực tiễn, đơn giản và thẳng thắn (luôn dưới mặt đất chứ không ở trên mây); nghĩa khác là món đồ hay lời khuyên có ích và thiết thực.
Ví dụ
She is also viewed as a down-to-earth person and not caught up (cuốn vào) in all things Hollywood, even though her career is firmly entrenched (cố thủ) in the movie capitol.
Jay (I guess I should really call him Mr. Leno) was not irritated (khó chịu) by the interruption. On the contrary (ngược lại), he was receptive (tiếp thu nhanh) and chatty and spoke with us for a couple minutes. If other celebrities (or indeed other regular old people) were as pleasant, amusing and down-to-earth as Jay, this world would be a far better place.
He has to do some of the Lyndon Johnson come, let us reason together, real down-to-earth stuff that Johnson did, said Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who is a leading proponent (đề xuất) of gun safety, invoking (cầu khẩn) the former president and onetime Senate majority leader who was famous for leaning on lawmakers not only figuratively but sometimes physically to get the legislation he wanted.
