"Heart of oak" = Trái tim gỗ sồi -> Người có cảm xúc và tinh thần rất mạnh mẽ; người có trái tim kiên cường và dũng cảm.

Ví dụ
Higgs was a heart-of-oak bowler (người chơi bóng gỗ), who took pride in his remorseless accuracy (độ chính xác không chùng xuống) and his ability to find swing and cut when conditions offered the slightest encouragement. Few bowlers of his pace - early 80s perhaps - have jarred (làm rung động mạnh) the bat with such regularity.

You can have a heart of oak and find people think you are dishonest. You can make one stupid mistake and destroy something that is potentially valuable and meaningful. Or, as this week's touching conversation (cuộc nói chuyện đầy xúc động) between Gabby and Marcel revealed, you can feel you are ugly and alone and be consoled (được nguôi ngoai) by kind words and goodness.

Organic to the relationship is a rare mutuality (tính qua lại, phụ thuộc lẫn nhau). She is tough-minded, science-minded and superior in her understanding of the world. He has a heart of oak, physical artfulness (tinh ranh, xảo quyệt), the canniness (khôn ngoan, thận trọng) of a leader but she is his leader and his devotion is bottomless (vô đáy). What it’s about is what an old song says: “True love knows no season, no rhyme or no reason.”
