"A nine days' wonder" = kỳ quan 9 ngày -> một vật hay sự kiện gây hứng thú chỉ trong thời gian ngắn rồi bị quên lãng.
Ví dụ
Sri Ma went on giving her full attention to all questions raised in her presence, mostly adverse (chống đối) and repetitive (lặp đi lặp lại), till the nine days wonder began to lose its hold on the imagination of people.
“CSP Eyoh’s tactical (chiến thuật) decision , moves and play to bring the situation under control were commendable (đáng tuyên dương) but this was a nine days wonder as his sudden transfer worsen the situation which remained unabated (không giảm sút).”
Right from the start the tournament became a gigantic tease (khiêu khích) for French clubs. Stade de Reims went into the first edition with high hopes, especially as England’s far-sighted (lo xa) Football League Management Committee prevented Chelsea from taking part on the grounds that the enterprise was “something of a joke and, at best, a nine days’ wonder”. Aberdeen also opted out (rút lui) so Scotland were represented by Hibernian, one of the teams beaten by Reims as the French champions swept into the 1956 final, handily staged in Paris.
