Ví dụ
Froyna at that time had no heating stove and she was as cold as charity below. It was like sleeping in a snowball.
From the tone of Governour's voice when speaking of generosity from their blood relation, it was a slim sort of beneficence, and most like as cold as charity.
'My mother's cousin died, too. I've inherited (thừa hưởng) a pile of stones, as cold as charity, but it comes with a sizeable fortune so I must not grumble (cằn nhằn). I assume your mourning (tang tóc) has delayed your wedding?
The weather, unusually severe for the season (31st of October) had driven the inhabitants from their usual paseo (đi dạo) to take shelter underneath this colonade, where I found all the men muffled (quấn áo/khăn) to the chin in huge capas, and the ladies peeping from their mantillas (khăn choàng) as cold as charity.
