Ví dụ
I have now been a good while in this House – I have heard “responsibility' often used, but never to any effect: with regard to the responsibility of Ministers in this country, I would not give twopence for it.

I do not care twopence about this particular case. We shall lay down a bad precedent (tiền lệ) if we pass this bill simply because we are told that otherwise large claims may be made by persons against the Government.

Well, of course you care, otherwise you'd not be angry! If it didn't matter twopence to you who you saw me with you'd – you'd just show you didn't care. You'd just be as friendly as when I left. Don't you see, you give yourself away?

He said that if any honourable member brought in such Bills as the honourable member for Masterton had in hand and then rose and said he did not care twopence whether they were passed or not, what encouragement (khích lệ) did he give to the House to help him?
