"A portent of things to come" = Một điềm báo/điềm xấu của điều gì đến -> Dấu hiệu chỉ điều gì đó sẽ xảy ra và được nhiều người biết đến.

Ví dụ
Traralgon was the scene for Federer's second ITF triumph and while it would be Jeanpierre who bounced back to seal the Australian Open boys crown, success in the Latrobe Valley would be a portent of things to come.

Was there a portent of things to come in race four at Maitland greyhounds (xe buýt chạy đường dài) on Thursday afternoon when the Allen Williams-trained Latrell to Excel jumped out of the No.1 box as the $2.50 favourite?

But are the flowering blooms a reaction to unusually mild weather, a symbol of climate change and a portent of things to come- or is the tree merely a species which defies (thách thức, bất chấp) the normal rules for when it should blossom?
