"Put your John Hancock on" nghĩa là gì?


"Put (one's) John Hancock on" = Ký tên bạn lên tài liệu, văn bản hoặc đơn xin nào đó (John Hancock là chữ ký rất nổi tiếng trong thời thực hiện cuộc cách mạng ở Mỹ, chữ ký của ông được biết đến rất to và dễ đọc trong bản tuyên ngôn độc lập của Mỹ).

Ví dụ
"I'm going to make sure whatever I put my John Hancock on that I understand fully before signing any other papers in the future," said Teresa.

You’re sat in a generic municipal office (văn phòng, cơ quan thành phố chung) waiting to put your John Hancock on some arbitrary (bất kỳ, tùy ý) paperwork that merely confirms you exist in the system. We’ve all been there. And while you would do it online to save yourself the hassle (sự tranh cãi, rắc rối) of trekking half way across the city to some steel and glass postmodernist (người hậu hiện đại) hackneyed (nhàm về lời lẽ, luận điệu) government building, something went wrong. So you’re here, at, let’s say the Passport Office for us Brits, which I can only assume meets its match for user experience in the DMV over the Atlantic.

Whether you are applying for the first time as an adult or minor, or have let your passport expire (hạn), the first step is to visit travel.state.gov, which, after you answer a number of questions, will take you to the right form. Now you set up an appointment and come in with a valid ID, birth certificate, the form, and your checkbook. One of the trained agents will verify everything, and then you put your John Hancock on the form in front of them. Nicely, they take care of the postage. (Renewals you can do yourself; just download the form, fill it out, and send it off.) Last year the library processed almost 400 passports, which brought in $14,000 to the town of West Tisbury from the $35 processing fee. For the actual passport, a 10-year adult passport costs $110, and it’s $80 for a five-year passport for minors.
