"Fratricidal rivalry" nghĩa là gì?


'Fratricidal rivalry' có từ fratricide là giết anh/chị/em và rivalry là sự kình địch, ganh đua; vì thế cụm từ này có thể được chuyển ngữ văn hoa là "đấu tranh huynh đệ tương tàn".

Ví dụ
For all of its colorful trappings, some heavy-duty issues percolate (thấm qua) through this musical: fratricidal rivalry, filial obligation (bổn phận làm con), the use of power, the responsibility of royalty, the question of an afterlife (cõi âm).

The threat to the United States is barbaric jihadism, as both an ideology and a tactic, but for many in Iraq, and in neighboring countries, the dispute is quickly evolving into a fratricidal rivalry between Shiites and Sunnis. This time around, American intervention could get entangled (vướng vào) with a fourteen-century-old schism between Islamic sects.

Khomeini and his fellow Shia revolutionaries have differed from Sunni Islamists, however—and this is the essence of their fratricidal rivalry—in proclaiming that global upheaval would be capped with the coming of the Mahdi, who would return from “occultation” (being present though not visible) to assume the sovereign powers (quyền lực tối cao) that the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic temporarily exercises in the Mahdi’s place.
