"By the yard" nghĩa là gì?

"By the yard" = bằng cả cái sân/thước Anh -> nghĩa là với số lượng rất lớn.

Ví dụ
New “passages” are inhabited by the entrance, kitchen, dining room, and a small living room. As with the originally chaotic feeling carried by the yard in its original state, we wanted to deal with the relationship between old and new in a more ambiguous (mơ hồ) way.

My brother gave me a little slogan, also. Life is hard by the yard but a cinch by the inch. I can only live in this instant. So despite all of the setbacks I've had, I've never been downhearted (chán nản, thất vọng), never been discouraged, because as long as I have my mind, know who I am, what I want to try to do, nothing can defeat me.

The world as we know it may be in disarray (xáo trộn) because of the pandemic but the countryside continues its seasonal cycle unabated. Gregory Gladwin’s heritage breed Sussex cows can sense the winter on its way and frankly they are not that keen on the torrential autumn rains. Instead of disappearing into the further grazing fields they cluster by the yard gates mooing for attention. Barns have been lined with straw in preparation and within the next ten days our two herds will be brought into their respective sheds ready for a cozy winter of shared bodily warmth and of course carving the next generation.
