'A point of honour' nghĩa là vấn đề, hành động được coi là có tầm quan trọng rất lớn đối với lòng tự hào, niềm kiêu hãnh của ai; vấn đề danh dự.

Ví dụ
“It has always been a point of honor for Ohio’s Hospice to recognize (công nhận, thừa nhận) its Veteran (cựu chiến binh) patients (bệnh nhân) for their service (phụng sự) to the United States and to maintain a Veteran-centric approach to the highest level of care Ohio’s Hospice can provide,” Allen said. “We look forward to when our Veteran volunteers can return to offering our virtual reality program in person. But we’re grateful to Healium for providing us with another solution.”

Christopher Hitchens and I weren’t close friends—I was a lesser planet (hành tinh) in his orbit (quỹ đạo). Every so often I felt the rhetorical (hoa mỹ, khoa trương) lash (chỉ trích, đả kích) of his published words on my back, and then I tried to make him feel mine, and you can guess who got the better of those exchanges. They usually had to do with Iraq. We both supported the war, but I supported it in an ambivalent (hai chiều, nước đôi), liberal way, while Christopher supported it in a heroic, revolutionary way. The more I saw of the war, the deeper my despair became. Christopher made it a point of honor never to call retreat.
