'The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak' nghĩa là (ai đó) có mong muốn, ý định để làm/thay đổi điều gì (có ích/có lợi) nhưng thiếu nghị lực/quyết tâm/động cơ thúc đẩy để thực hiện.
Ví dụ
One infamous AI fail was biblical: Matthew 26:41 “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” machine translated to “the vodka is strong but the meat is soft” when reversed from Russian.
Star turns of the tasting menu include a vivid tower of beetroot (củ cải đường), ricotta (pho mát ý trắng, mềm) and smoked eel (lươn hun khói), a lobster (tôm hùm) tail made doubly rich with deep carrot and caramel flavours — and that cheeseboard, so alluring it's embarrassing not to be able to do it more justice. We try. We really try. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak and brimful. We've been utterly vanquished by Alyn Williams at the Westbury, but in the most pleasurably genteel (quý phái, thượng lưu, trưởng giả), Mayfair-esque way possible.
For decades, Philip has put duty first, whatever the cost. During the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, it meant shivering without a coat in the rain for four hours during the Thames river pageant. It was Philip, a brave young wartime naval officer, who particularly wanted a waterborne tribute to his wife of 64 years, and the Queen was happy to do it his way. It must have occurred to palace advisers that for this couple of such great age to spend the entire time on their feet was at least unwise and at worst, foolish. But Prince Philip is stubborn, and while fit young people all around this upright, elderly man wilted in the long hours of a wet and chilly afternoon on the river, he stuck to the business at hand. The upshot was an infection and a stay in hospital. It was partly because of that experience that the prince decided to retire. ‘The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak,’ he laughingly told one retainer at the time.
