"A fool's errand" = việc vặt của tên ngốc -> nghĩa là việc vô ích.

Ví dụ
This comes after Deputy Prime Minister Peter Turnquest was reported on Sunday as saying a no confidence vote is a fool's errand.

A recent letter writer wrote that attempting “gun control is a fool’s errand.” Wrong. We don’t allow people to have machine guns, bazookas, and anti-aircraft guns, so we do have gun control. What the Founding Fathers could not have imagined is how deadly one AR-15 would be compared to their muskets (súng hỏa mai).

Alex Morse, the 30-year-old mayor of Holyoke, may look like he’s on a fool’s errand by challenging Rep. Richard Neal in next year’s Democratic primary. After all, just seven months ago Neal’s three decades of toil in the DC vineyards landed him in one of the most powerful positions in the House, chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. But Morse says the veteran Springfield pol is out of step with the urgency of the times, and he questions whether Neal’s new clout will deliver tangible (hữu hình) gains for the First Congressional District.
