Ví dụ
"In this episode, Lucy gets me to try to relax by trying out yoga while she goes out on the town for a relaxing night with Alan Carr," Jon says in episode three. "And Jon bravely posts his poison pen letter," Lucy adds. Lucy says she and her neighbour get to do something they have always wanted to do.

I realized I was wrong after reading Thursday’s Daily Courier with its poison pen letter from someone who seems to have a pathological hatred (lòng căm ghét một cách bệnh hoạn) for the Trudeau government. That kind of mindless rhetoric belongs with the ultra-right folks south of the border, not in Canada.

BRANDON TAYLOR’S REAL LIFE follows one late-summer weekend in a Midwestern university town. Wallace, a doctoral candidate in biochemistry, arrives to his lab to find his latest experiment — the result of months of painstaking (chịu khó) work and a key part of his senior colleague’s dissertation — sabotaged. It is hard to explain to a humanist quite how traumatic this discovery would be: imagine, for instance, that someone burned your book manuscript, destroyed your laptop, then sent a poison-pen letter to your publisher. That comes close.
