"Be not long for this world" = Thời gian ở trên đất không còn lâu nữa -> Sắp rời khỏi thế gian/sắp chết.
Ví dụ
The home – currently owned by the city – looks to be not long for this world. There are missing windows and holes (lổ hổng) in the roof (mái nhà). The door is boarded up and marked with a "no trespassing" (không xâm phạm) sign.
Some are speculating that Magic Kingdom’s Buzz Lightyear attraction and the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor show next door could both be not long for this world, but there’s no indication so far that Orlando would be getting the Ant-Man update Hong Kong is getting. At this time, the Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland update is focused on much more dire (thảm khốc) needs, such as replacing Stitch’s Great Escape.
To follow the logic of the argument being mounted (dựng lên) in activist circles, only a disabled actor ought to be cast as Brown, an unattractive woman as Wuornos, a gay man as Beckett. And to push that argument to its logical extreme (a la the Ruby Rose backlash), the actor playing Brown ought to be not merely (chỉ, đơn thuần) disabled but severely crippled (bị què) with CP; the actress playing Wuornos ought to have real-world experience of killing; and the poor chap (thằng) playing Beckett should be not long for this world.
