'On the side of the angels' = cùng phe với các thiên thần -> nghĩa là hành xử, cư xử tử tế, lịch thiệp hoặc hỗ trợ các hành động; ủng hộ những điều tốt, những điều đúng đắn, theo lẽ phải.
Ví dụ
From Rumpole of the Bailey to Judge John Deed we’re used to seeing lawyers as heroic defenders of justice, people who even in their worst moments are still on the side of the angels.
Out in the real world, this querulous (càu nhàu, cáu kỉnh), Colonel Blimp-inspired hiss of shut up girlie and let the grown ups talk wafting (thoảng qua) from the national broadsheet buglers (lính kèn) might be considered hitting a KPI – a sign that you are on the side of the angels – but, as they say in the classics, only time will tell.
For someone who has so often been on the side of the angels in allowing parliament to hold the executive (hành pháp) to account and in championing the rights of women and race equality (bình đẳng chủng tộc), the Speaker can be a hard man to love. Not just because of the allegations (luận điệu, lý lẽ) of abuse and loss of temper towards his staff, but also because of his total self-regard. No one could possibly think more of Bercow than Bercow. He is a man who looks in a mirror and falls in love at first sight.
