Ví dụ
The soundtrack is really quite wonderful. I'd love to see it myself if it comes to the Westend. I get the feeling that tickets will be rarer than hens ' teeth.

While the Dow continues to hold 20,000, its position above this looks increasingly tenuous (rất mong manh, hời hợt, có ít thực chất). The ominous (gở, báo điềm xấu, đáng ngại) quiet in US markets, where moves greater than 1% continue to be rarer than hens’ teeth, is a signal that something big is on its way. The current flows into gold and treasuries and away from the S&P 500 is another indication that the equity rally is looking exhausted.

Given how complex the story became (so many panels, so much weight to bear!), a lesser artist would’ve shit the proverbial bed a dozen times over. Instead Ryan has the priceless knack for not only arranging it all clearly and beautifully, but somehow creating the illusion of fluidity (thay đổi bất thường) and simplicity in the process. Even the densest pages achieve the sort of millpond (hồ chứa nước) languidity (uể oải, lừ đừ) you’d more commonly expect of a very decompressed book. That’s a talent rarer than hens’ teeth, in this game, and I can’t overstate how much of the story flows from Ryan’s innate (bẩm sinh) sense of pace rather than anything I scripted.
