سلام! البته این تعریف مربوط به این اصطلاحه:
TO run the gauntlet
یعنی :
خود را در برابر آماج حملات/ انتقادات دیگران قرار دادن
خطر ات /تهدیدها/ انتقادات را به جان خریدن (برای رسیدن به هدف).
This phrase alludes to the former military practice to punishing a wrongdoer by forcing him to run between 2 lines of men armed with sticks , to beat him as he passed. Gauntlet here has nothing to do with a "glove", but is a version of an earlier word "gantlope" itself taken from Swedish "gatloppe", which means"lane course".
to have to deal with a lot of people who are criticizing or attacking you:Every day they had to run the gauntlet of hostile journalists on their way to school.
