"Donkey's years" nghĩa là gì?

Đã lâu lắm rồi.... Photo by: Kaboompics .com on Pexels

"Donkey's years" = những năm tháng của con lừa -> nghĩa là khoảng thời gian rất dài.

Ví dụ
People owning a dog must have it tagged (buộc thẻ địa chỉ) but people acting as demolition and excavation contractors (người đấu thầu) do not need to have a licence. This glaring anomaly has existed for donkey’s years.

He’s been playing these sort of hardmen for donkey’s years, but recently he’s started bringing different colours to his palette (bảng màu). In this case, it’s a mournful fatalism; in the recent feature Muscle, it was an unexpected strain of (có chiều hướng) sleaziness (bô nhếch) and carnality (nhục dục).

I’ve sung Happy Birthday twice to myself for donkey’s years. It’s a good way to remind (gợi nhớ) me of my kids’ names. Presumably (có lẽ) that’s what our Prime Minister does, but then, does he actually know them all? Tricky.
