"(Draw the sword and) throw away the scabbard" hoặc "when the sword of rebellion is drawn, the sheath should be thrown away" có từ "scabbard" và "sheath" đều có nghĩa là bao kiếm (vỏ bọc thanh kiếm). Cụm từ này thể hiện quyết tâm đấu tranh đến cùng (để giải quyết một vấn đề gì).
Ví dụ
This flier (tờ rơi) was a Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson quote that read, “The time for war has not yet come, but it will come, and that soon; and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard.”
I have been slow to draw against them my satirical (châm biếm) sword, but I have studied the entire debate (nghiên cứu toàn bộ cuộc tranh luận) on the New Constitution (Hiến pháp mới), and now, having drawn it, I throw away the scabbard.
‘When the sword of rebellion is drawn, the sheath should be thrown away’ goes an old English saying. Perhaps the adage encapsulates (tóm lược) the short but eventful life (cuộc đời ngắn ngủi nhưng đầy biến cố) of Velu Thampi Dalawa, the 19th century prime minister of erstwhile (thời xa xưa) Travancore and Kerala’s iconic symbol of armed resistance (kháng chiến vũ trang) against British colonial (thực dân Anh) rule.
