Ví dụ
People do "the Dutch act" have often told someone that they do not feel life is worth living or that they have no future. Some may have actually said they want to die.
The decision to do the Dutch act for some is based on a reasoned decision, often motivated by the presence of a painful terminal (giai đoạn cuối) illness from which little to no hope of reprieve exists.
We keep you in prison (tù) for 2 reasons: The government fears that you'll be killed by the Young Pioneers, and because you preach (rao giảng) about a coming war, the government fears that their soldiers (lính) will do the Dutch act during that war.
