"An ugly duckling" = vịt con xấu xí -> nghĩa là người hoặc vật từng được cho là xấu xí, khó thành công nhưng sau này trở nên xinh đẹp, thành công.
Ví dụ
It's no longer an ugly duckling, is it? Beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder (người xem) but the previous-generation Audi Q3 (although popular) was hardly the most visually appealing (có vẻ ngoài hấp dẫn) vehicle in the Ingolstadt-based firm's range.
When trendy (thịnh hành) food publications make routine rounds to compile “hot, new” lists or curate city dining guides (or record podcast episodes, in this case), it feels like Phoenix usually gets skipped over (bỏ qua). This year, however, FnB chef Charleen Badman’s new James Beard Award for Best Chef Southwest may have Arizona looking like less of an ugly duckling.
If you have £2,000 to invest, then I highly recommend taking a look at security services business G4S (LSE: GFS). This business might look like an ugly duckling on the surface, but it is well-positioned (vị trí đẹp) to capitalise (làm vốn) on the growing demand (nhu cầu phát triển) for security services around the world.
