"(Be) the (very) image of (someone)" nghĩa là giống hệt ai.

Ví dụ
Little roy was almost three years old, the very image of his father, as thick and solid as a block of wood sawed (cưa) from a hickory (gỗ mại châu) tree.

And to John Inglefield she was the very image of his buried wife, such as he remembered her on the first Thanksgiving which they had passed under their own roof.

He is, we are told, “the effulgenee (sáng ngời) of God's glory and the very image of His substance (vật chất)"—which seems to be only a rich and suggestive (gợi mở) way of saying, to put it briefly, that the 'Son,' as 'Son,' is just God's fellow.

This happened often among the older members of staff, for Toby was the very image of his father's younger self. At the same age, Teddy Hoyland had been considered quite the beau (bảnh bao) and it was said that his handsome face and figure had been almost as responsible (trách nhiệm) as his fortune for capturing the heart of Lady Clarissa Benbury.
