Ủa! Hình như có gì sai sai! Photo by Fredrik Öhlander on Unsplash

"As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly" (Như việc một con chó có thể ăn lại những thứ nó nôn ra, một người ngu ngốc có thể lặp lại những sai lầm của họ.) là câu thành ngữ ý muốn nói rằng những người ngu ngốc thường có xu hướng lặp lại những lỗi lầm, những hành động sai trái mà họ đã từng gây ra.

Ví dụ
As the Book of Proverbs says, "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly". Perhaps as prime minister, Mr Turnbull should have read his Proverbs before attaching himself to the same policy that had previously ended his job as opposition leader.

McCormick got a penitentiary sentence (tuyên án cải tạo) in 2009 for a string of break-ins (đường dây đột nhập vào các toà nhà để trộm cắp). He then followed the law for several years, working as a roofer (thợ lợp mái). But earlier this year, McCormick fell back into a life of drugs and crime. "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly," said defence lawyer Hal Mattson, quoting from the Book of Proverbs in the Bible.

Gordon Offin-Amaniampong writes: As a dog returns to his vomit so a fool repeats his folly. Did that strike a cord? Maybe it did, maybe it did not. Probably, I can do better than that. So how about this---: A nation that’s prone to what I term ‘Convenience Politics’ would perpetually (không ngớt, không ngừng, liên tục) lack social, economic and political development, it would permanently lag behind its peer group of nations but above all, it would miserably (cực kỳ, kinh khủng) leave its people impoverished (bần cùng hóa, làm cho nghèo khổ) if not reduced to nothing. The reason, the game never changes. It’s politics as usual they say. And it’s same old political gimmicks or politricks. This is their mantra: ‘we know the government or the opponents are right but we won’t go with them’.
