"Be set in your ways" nghĩa là gì?


"Be set in (one's) ways" = Đã thấm sâu vào tư tưởng/đang đi trên đường của mình -> Ý là khó/không muốn thay đổi tư tưởng, suy nghĩ, quan niệm hay thói quen (thường là nói về người già rất bảo thủ).

Ví dụ
You may appear to be set in your ways but you will surprise quite a few people now by how easily you adapt to changing circumstances.

In four decades, maybe all of our technology will have caught up with what The Jetsons showed us was possible. But by that time, I may be set in my ways and not ready to accept new tech.

“It is different challenges and everyone has got to go through them, whether it is Fylde playing us or going to Anfield or (Manchester) City coming here. “It is how you adapt and you cannot be set in your ways in the beauty of the game. “I enjoy these games. It will be a different type of game from Tuesday, but we have to approach it in the same manner. “We had a proper Sheffield United performance on Tuesday, which was front-foot, aggressive and positive. “The players will have to produce that on Saturday. They have knocked out so many Premier League teams and will be looking to do same to us.
