"(The) Dunkirk spirit" = tinh thần Dunkirk. Thuật ngữ này được sử dụng để nhắc đến niềm tin vào sự đoàn kết của người Anh trong những giờ phút nguy nan (sự kiện trận Dunkirk tại Pháp trong Thế chiến II).

Ví dụ
In the 75 years since victory (chiến thắng) in the Second World War in Europe was declared (tuyên bố) on May 8 1945, politicians (chính trị gia), media and the public have echoed phrases such as “Dunkirk spirit” and the “plucky Brits”.

He said: “Let’s do some of the things they did in 1945 – make bunting and make flags. With modern-day technology (công nghệ) we could have a virtual (ảo) street party. “I know it’s a cliche (sáo ngữ), the Dunkirk spirit, but I am sure that’s the way we are going to get through this now.”

"I'm feeling much better being back here," he said today. "Although I've come back to a strange situation but I feel a lot safer. I managed to get on the repatriation (hồi hương) flight provided by British Airways. If there's something in this, it's the Dunkirk spirit among the British, which I classify myself as too.
