Ví dụ
His heart is as sound as a bell and he also has a granite chin (cằm). At his best, he is poetry in motion and though there's no such thing as a perfect fighter, Vasyl must be the nearest thing to it. I have no hesitation (do dự) in naming him pound-for-pound the greatest boxer on this planet.

His injury was a lot like bone concussion (chấn động) and shin (cẳng chân) splints on his hind leg, if you can imagine the top of your bone having a whole lot of pin cracks in it. Once we found the problem we injected the bottom and the top with pain killers. He was as sound as a bell.

Ranging from a few hundred pounds to £15,000, the featured large-scale porcelain (đồ sứ) wall panels and meiping (“plum vase”) vessels were all made from Jingdezhen porcelain. With its ancient reputation among Silk Road travelers for being “as thin as paper, as white as jade (ngọc bích), as bright as a mirror, and as sound as a bell,” the ceramic offers an ideal canvas.
