“Getting there is half the fun” = tới đó là một nửa niềm vui -> nghĩa là chính việc đang làm/tiến hành thực hiện mục tiêu tự bản thân đã là niềm vui/thích thú.
Ví dụ
“Sadie brought home all this orange to reddish mud (bùn hơi đỏ đỏ) stuck (kẹt, dính) to her car,” he practically gushed (phun ra, phọt ra). “It was wonderful.” As such, it’s almost like Schafer’s paintings come to life – one can practically reach out and feel the desert grit (đá mạt, hạt sạn), the sheer sanddtone (đá cát kết, sa thạch) face and the wispy cirrus clouds. A tangible piece of the Southwest in one’s own living room. But not all of his works make it that far. Because as with life and art, getting there is half the fun. Or not. “All of my paintings have had many incarnations (hiện thân),” he said. “I’ll get really close, and really like something, and I’ll f*** it up.”
There’s an old saying that getting there is half the fun. That’s true if you are hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. But what if you’re on a plane with nothing to see but clouds? Or stuck in traffic on a freeway? Not much fun. For those times, you might want something to distract and entertain you. We looked at dozens of new toys, games and activities, and selected a handful that are easy to pack for your summer travels. We can’t guarantee that playing with them will provide half the fun of your vacation, but it would definitely be better than staring at clouds.
I grew up going on epic (sử thi, bản hùng ca) road trips, because, according to my father, “getting there is half the fun.” These trips were well planned and researched months in advance, heralded (được báo trước) by a visit to the library for books with titles like “Fifty Free Things To Do in Iowa.” Mom would make a vat of chicken salad that we would eat at rest areas as we made our way across the country. We camped in our pop-up camper (trại bật lên, dựng lên) and visited places like the world’s largest hand dug well. I read books or scribbled in my spiral-bound notebook or just stared out of our conversion (người trò chuyện) van’s windows as the scenery flew by. As a kid, I loved it.
