'Take up a collection' nghĩa là tổ chức và kêu gọi cho một buổi quyên góp (thường là quyên tiền) từ mọi người (cho mục đích nào đó).
Ví dụ
It also would require more taxpayer (người nộp thuế) money. On many blocks, neighbors currently take up a collection and contract (làm/ kí hợp đồng) private plows (máy dọn tuyết) to keep their alleys (đường đi) clear. Residents (cư dân) would likely still have to do that if they want smooth travels throughout the season.
“We decided we ought to do something worthwhile (xứng đáng/đáng giá), so we began when Sarah Carter established her scholarship (học bổng) out at Humboldt Area Foundation,” Van Doorn said. “Every month, we take up a collection for Sarah’s scholarship fund.”
Senior Center Manager Torres learned of the residents’ misfortune (điều không may) from the television news. Once she realized they were center members and volunteers, as well as participants (người tham gia) in the center’s lunch program, she acted. She emailed the center’s 250 members within two days of the incident (sự cố). “I have decided to take up a collection to help them until they have some answers,” she wrote. “I spoke with them today [March 14], and they are overwhelmed (dạt dào cảm xúc, choáng ngợp) and beyond frustrated (thất vọng/chán nản).”
