Ví dụ

Their world, by the way, is socially and politically liberal to a fault, which will seem either defiant or quaint in this partisan season of Trump vs. Clinton.

Elected to Congress in 1862, Garfield fought for black rights and liberty, writing in his pocket diary, “Servitium esto damnatum”— “slavery be damned.” Modest to a fault, he toiled diligently in the legislative vineyards for 17 years.
