"Herculean effort" -> công việc/hoạt động cần rất nhiều nỗ lực, năng lượng và sức lực của bản thân, đôi khi được sử dụng theo cách mỉa mai hoặc ngoa dụ.

Ví dụ
According to NBCUniversal chief executive officer (CEO-giám đốc điều hành) Steve Burke, it’s been a herculean effort to get the thing off the ground; a team of more than 500 people have been working on it. In addition to hits like The Office, he revealed, the platform (nền tảng) will host its own originals as well.

Since then, a stabilised pattern (một mẫu hình ổn định) of winter rain and a herculean effort from Cape Town residents (hộ dân cư) to cut down (giảm thiểu) on water usage has averted disaster (tránh/đẩy lui thảm họa). Although the city still remains a drought risk (nguy cơ hạn hán), those in the south-west will be sleeping a lot easier as we head towards summer.

Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter has a significantly longer script (kịch bản dài đáng kể) than all of Lord of the Rings. It's longer than War & Peace, which is just over 500,000 words. Translating it was a herculean effort and, as I recently learned from Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo who directed the Trails in the Sky series in the early 2000s, so was writing it. Most of SC's three million Japanese characters were written by just three people.
