"Dragged kicking and screaming" nghĩa là gì?
17 Nov, 2020
"Dragged kicking and screaming" = bị lôi (xềnh xệch) vừa đá vừa la hét -> nghĩa là ép ai phải làm gì, đi đâu trong khi họ không muốn chút nào.
Ví dụ
With the election result still hanging in the balance, a US media report claims President Donald Trump has signalled (ra tín hiệu) the Secret Service may have to drag him from the White House "kicking and screaming".
But Carter, like Gerald Ford before him and George H.W. Bush after him, accepted the humiliating (đáng xấu hổ) loss. We suspected that Donald Trump would not be so graceful about accepting defeat. But he is turning out to be the first president who will be dragged kicking and screaming into the Presidents Club.
Pause for a moment, and let's take ourselves back to November 2017, when the then Turnbull government was dragged kicking and screaming to hold a royal commission (ủy ban) into the banks.
For years, the RBA has been determined to remain aloof (tách biệt) from the rest of the developed world's dalliance with radical (triệt để) monetary policy. It now has been dragged kicking and screaming into the void (hư vô).
