Người Mỹ dùng 'be all and end all' để chỉ điều quan trọng nhất, tốt nhất, không có gì có thể sánh bằng.

Ví dụ
“My friend says that it’s been rated as one of the best companies to work for. It offers top salaries, and generous benefits including on-site healthcare, childcare, a well-equipped gym, free lunches....Where my friend is going to be working strikes me as being the be all and end all (quả là chỗ tốt nhất). She couldn’t hope for a better job situation.”

“The Ironman Triathlon consists of nearly 4 kilometers of swimming, 180 kilometers of biking and 42 kilometers of marathon. And it must be raced in that order without a break (không nghỉ giải lao) within 17 hours. Most athletes consider it the be all and end all (khó khăn nhất) of sports competitions. They don’t know of any event that’s tougher.”
