Ví dụ
The musical "chirrup, chirrup" of these little insects (công trùng) is such a pleasant sound that the phrase "as merry as a cricket" has become proverbial.
“I was born and bred in the briar (cây thạch nam) patch, Brer Fox,” Brer Rabbit called. “Born and bred in the briar patch.” And he skipped away as merry as a cricket while Brer Fox ground (đặt xuống đất) his teeth in rage and went home.
It gets its common name because it is supposed to cure (chưa trị) sadness. Nicholas Culpeper said, "It makes a man as merry as a cricket." It's true: the sight of fields of bright purple pompom flowers floating above the soft, spineless, hairy leaves and stems (it looks as if it has been coated in cotton wool) is utterly cheering.
