"Be dead set on" = dứt khoát làm điều gì cho bằng được; quyết tâm có được điều mình muốn.
Ví dụ
"The Trump administration is dead set on appeasing (thoả hiệp vô nguyên tắc, khuyên giải) special interests that want to kill wolves. We're working hard to stop them," Collette Adkins, a senior attorney at the Center, said in the statement.
“I feel so much fatigue (mệt mỏi) and anxiety, and yet I am dead-set on competing again next year,” said Pina. “I will never forget my pride and joy seeing Edward and Caleb win. I’ll never forget getting interviewed by three judges. Responding [to the judges’] questions felt like endless hours of squeezing my hippocampus (chân hải mã, cá ngựa) for everything I learned in science research.”
Valentine’s Day is a beautiful holiday — a day to celebrate all the joy that love, especially romantic love, brings into our lives. But the day can also be pretty alienating (xa lánh, cho giận ghét) if you’re going through a rough spot, just went through a bad breakup, or are just plain down in the dumps. When that’s the case, every red shirt, jewelry advertisement, and flower peddler seem to be dead set on one common goal: making you absolutely miserable.
