"A broth of a boy" -> nghĩa là anh chàng tốt bụng.
Ví dụ
He was an ornery (xấu tính) dreamer, resourceful (tháo vát), a broth of a boy. That is how I saw him. He is a kid from Pristina, and almost all his friends left in 1999.
Carberry dearly loved Cheltenham and the annual Irish invasion (tràn ngập) of the town. It is in no way derogatory (xúc phạm, vi phạm) to say that he loved a party and he was one of that generation in the saddle who rode hard and played hard, all done with a twinkle in the eye and humour that would appreciate one fellow Irishman’s description of him – “a broth of a boy”.
Furthermore, the soup wasn’t good enough. The minuscule (nhỏ xíu) amount of meat it contained would barely keep the starving labourer (người lao động đói khát) alive, while the liquid base was for many unpalatable (không mùi vị, khó chịu). The archbishop (tổng giám mục) of Tuam referred to it as a “worthless mass of roots and warm water” while Punch lampooned (viết lời đả kích) it as “economical grog” made by “a broth of a boy”.
