"If you'll pardon the expression" =  thứ lỗi cho lời của tôi -> câu xin lỗi vì lỡ có lời xúc phạm.

And talk about inventive, they put their business in the midst of another, the trendy "Black Daisy Boutique". In any economy, the most creative ideas often succeed the most. So opening a salon that specializes in one Individual (cá nhân) at a time was, if you’ll pardon the expression, just what the doctor ordered.

Given blockchain‘s history of scams, token investments, and other half-baked financial schemes that tend to leave backers and users high and dry (if you’ll pardon the expression here) we could well see at least some from a floating ecosystem of cryptocurrency (tiền mật mã) enthusiasts.

This power grab is all incredibly rich (if you’ll pardon the expression) and opportunistic on the part of the cabal. Their argument, the same one they use when the concept of a European super league is mooted (nêu lên), is that because the biggest clubs attract the lion’s share of the interest and the audience, they deserve a greater share of the spoils from the Premier League’s success. 

On the other hand, American literary (văn học) great William Faulkner said, "Civilization (nền văn minh) begins with distillation (chưng cất)." Faulkner seemed to have a particularly defeatist (chủ bại) outlook when it came to drink. In his 1954 novel "A Fable," he wrote, "War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy." We prefer the cheerier outlook of the quip attributed to Benjamin Franklin: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Though the Franklin Institute insists that Ben never said that, which is, if you'll pardon the expression, a buzzkill.
