"Soft berth" có từ "berth" nghĩa chính là cái giường ngủ trên tàu, nghĩa khác là địa vị, việc làm -> tình huống/công việc/vị trí dễ dàng.
Ví dụ
This he agreed to, but he did not want the instructor (hướng dẫn viên) position at Pendleton they offerred to him; he termed that a “soft berth.” His buddies thought he was crazy for wanting a return to combat in the jungle (chiến đấu trong rừng).
"Thank God I've already shaved (cạo râu). If there's one thing I loathe (ghét) it's shaving. Those lads in the House of David—what a soft berth they picked for themselves .” Young Poole stood up . He took off a faded dressing gown (áo choàng) made of toweling and went, in his underwear, to the basin (bồn rửa).
The literary students read Rupert Brooke passionately (một cách say mê); the lounge-lizards worried over whether the government would permit (cấp phép) the English uniform for officers; a few of the hopelessly lazy wrote to the obscure (vô danh) branches of the War Department, seeking an easy commission (nhiệm vụ) and a soft berth.
