"Make a martyr of" nghĩa là gì?


"Make a martyr of" = biến ai thành liệt sĩ/tử vì đạo -> nghĩa là khiến ai đau khổ, mà vì thế lại khiến mọi người thêm cảm thông chính người đó.

Ví dụ
Jeremy Corbyn’s suspension (đình chỉ) shows Keir Starmer is willing to do the right thing, even if it’s not easy. This will make a martyr of Corbyn, whose disciples will make it their life’s work to thwart Starmer’s chances of getting elected
 
There have been attempts over the years to make a martyr of Kevin Barry. How do you feel about that representation 100 years on?

But he keeps doing pressers. Presumably this is an attempt to forge (giả mạo) his leadership image, make a martyr of himself and parade himself as the savior (cứu thế) of the state, rather than the bloke who messed up the whole show.

One elected California official even took to tweeting profanities (tục tĩu) about Musk. But, although Musk allowed his irritation to show to some degree, to a greater extent he was concentrating on the new arrival in his life, the idiosyncratically named X Æ A-12. So, was Alameda County ready to make a martyr of Musk?
