lovebird21cto be three sheets in the wind = intoxicated and unsteady. (Sheets are the ropes used to manage a ship's sails. It is assumed that if these ropes were blowing in the wind, the ship would be out of control.) say bí tỉ, say khướt, sheet là dây lèo để điều chỉnh buồm, nếu những dây này bay trong gió, con tàu có thể không kiểm soát được...
lovebird21cuống rượu ở nhà sẽ không bao giờ ngon như uống ở nhà hàng, vì ngoài rượu còn có ánh nến, tiếng nhạc, thức ăn, vẻ đẹp của người thưởng rượu cùng, ở nhà sẽ không được như vậy, các nhà tâm lý học gọi là "misattribution of emotions" (đánh giá sai cảm xúc): ta cho rằng đây là nguồn vui thích của ta khi thật ra nó là nguồn khác,

không bao giờ có thể lặp lại một trải nghiệm tương tự, mà chỉ có thể hướng tới trải nghiệm khác, ----- Dear Dan,
When I’m out for dinner, I occasionally encounter a wine so special that I buy a case of it to drink at home. But the subsequent bottles never taste as appealing as the initial one, so I wind up not only regretting the purchase of additional wine but also spoiling some of the wonderful memories of my night at the restaurant.
So why can’t I enjoy the same wine as much at home? Is there something special about the way the restaurant handles the wine or the glow of the original occasion?

After an excellent dinner out, we might remember the wine as impeccable. But we probably won’t realize that part of our enjoyment of the wine flowed from the flickering candles, the beautiful music, the tasty food and the charming company. At home, the same wine is just the wine, without the halo effect, and it isn’t the same experience. Psychologists call this phenomenon the “misattribution of emotions”: We assume that the source of our enjoyment is one thing when it is really another.
It’s almost never possible to revisit special experiences. The place where you spent your honeymoon, for example, probably won’t make a good family vacation spot: A few days of chasing the kids and trying to eke out a few hours of sleep will certainly taint (if not erase) the original memory.
Next time, enjoy the wine, commit the whole experience to memory, don’t try to relive it, and look forward to new experiences.
