"Be (all) of a piece" có nghĩa là thuộc cùng một loại, cùng một phe, hay còn nói là cùng một giuộc với nhau.

Ví dụ
And here’s the point: this attitude to the body is all of a piece with that arbitrary (chuyên quyền, độc đoán) attitude to the rest of nature which has now landed us – or soon will – in hot water. And it is not the only example; the way was prepared by the manipulation of sex with contraceptive (ngừa thai) technology, which enables us to use the body as a thing, not an integral part of our person.

Trump blaming businesses for the failures of his economic policies, polluters blaming consumers for the state of the environment, is all of a piece: The captain of the Titanic blaming the passengers for the iceberg. Both Trump and the polluters have a great deal of power and money to fling their blame-shifting into the zeitgeist (hệ tư tưởng thời đại). Please don’t fall for it; blaming the victims is a filthy (bẩn thỉu) practice in any context.

To many longtime Trump watchers, the president’s poor performance at the diplomatic negotiating table (bàn đàm phán ngoại giao) is all of a piece with his overhyped (quảng cáo quá mức, tuyên dương quá đáng) career in business. “Donald’s deal-making (thỏa thuận) skills are a wonderful figment (điều tưởng tượng, điều bịa đặt) of his own imagination,” said Alan Lapidus, the former architect to the Trump Organization who has known the president since he was a teenager and just starting in the family real estate business (kinh doanh bất động sản).
