'Spoiling for a fight' = hăm hở muốn một trận đánh -> sẵn sàng, nôn nóng tham gia tranh luận hoặc đánh nhau.
Ví dụ
But Harris isn’t the only one who might be spoiling for a fight with Biden. Cory Booker, too, has been openly critical of Biden’s plans to revisit federal sentencing guidelines. “For a guy who helped to be an architect of mass incarceration (tống giam), this is an inadequate (không thích hợp) solution,” Booker said.
"It's a political crisis that has gone into chaos (hỗn loạn) mode: should the police be allowed to stand by? Some of [the protesters] were out spoiling for a fight with the police," said James Arthur Elms, who as a former senior superintendent (giám sát) with the Royal Hong Kong Police, helped suppress the 1956 riot (bạo động).
Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Trump wants us to believe that he is spoiling for the fight, that the country stands with him as he spews (phun ra, tung ra) daily monstrosities (kì quái) that cheapen our values. To the contrary, although they may be vocal, there is no evidence that Trump’s base support is growing or becoming more galvanized (kích động).
