"Waifs and strays" -> Chỉ những đứa trẻ bơ vơ, vô gia cư trong thành phố và sống nơi đầu đường xó chợ. Ngoài ra cũng chỉ những người và con vật sống lang thang và không nơi cư ngụ.
Ví dụ
In a world where David and Sal took in all sorts of waifs and strays, it feels like their relationship with their children was sometimes forgotten.
“They gathered up all the waifs and strays from the town and they said okay, you’re in a music course now,” Murdoch says. David doesn’t romanticize (lãng mạn hóa) it — he describes it as a “refugee camp (kỳ trại cho người tị nạn) for unemployed musicians.” Murdoch remembers the music they were making as “terrible,” but “the only game in town,” at a time when he had few other options.
I forgive my mum for everything because she wasn’t all to blame. She has a heart of gold and would love to rescue all the animals, waifs and strays of the world but her need for alcohol overrides (cho là quan trọng hơn) her love and passions for everything else.
