"Cross swords with (one)" = đan chéo kiếm với -> đánh nhau, chiếu nhau, cãi nhau.
Ví dụ
No Bayern fan will need (or want) reminding of the last time their club crossed swords with Chelsea in the Champions League: the infamous 2012 final at the Allianz Arena, the 'Finale Dahoam', which the Blues won on penalties to break Bavarian hearts.
Republican (Đảng viên Đảng cộng hòa) Mitt Romney, establishment to the core, took the Senate’s (Thượng nghị viện) most brazenly rebellious stance (lập trường cứng đầu) Wednesday in voting to force President Donald Trump from office, a move highlighting how rare it is for Republicans to cross swords with this president.
In 2020, the country is far away from the initial vision of its founding fathers 100 years ago. This very sharp contrast (tương phản rõ), between today’s grieving reality (thực tế đau buồn) and celebrated past, is feeding the rejection by the young generation who are in protest (phản kháng) and cross swords with the all-powerful coalition (liên minh) of former militias (cựu dân quân), in power since 1990.
