"Work like a mule" = làm việc như con la -> nghĩa là làm việc cật lực trong khoảng thời gian dài, nhất là việc không công hoặc hầu hạ.
Ví dụ
While there’s no doubt that Chef Viviani hails from Italy with his Italian charm and thick accent (giọng), he’s the first to step up and say he’s the “worst Italian when it comes to life approach. I don’t take two-hour lunches and three-hour dinners. I work like a mule which is not very Italian. But! I do drink 10 espressos a day.”
“He’d work like a mule and wasn’t afraid of putting in hay on a hot summer day,” he said, “and helping out with cattle (gia súc) and doing the milking (vắt sữa), but I will tell you, we had our differences like brothers usually do, and sometimes we’d get into it.”
When one does a hard job, they should be paid, not work like a mule for a few scraps.
