Ví dụ
Although nearly all schools in neighboring counties were closed as a result of the influenza (bệnh cúm) epidemic, all schools in the county and Sidney were open. Dorsey Nevergall has his display room ready but no new Dodges or Plymouths have yet made their appearance. As a result, he has a nice office at 111-117 West Court Street, and plenty of space to pace the floor.

Schumer remembers what the stresses (căng thẳng) of owning a small business was like for his own father, who ran an exterminator company.  "My father would actually pace the floor Sunday nights at 2 a.m. because he didn't want to go to work Monday morning," Schumer said. 

So, next morning, after waiting for the restaurant to open, I can only pace the floor. I called them before they officially opened and, after asking if a wallet had been found, I was given a “yes”. In a matter of minutes, I was arriving at the front door. I quickly dashed in (lao tới) and immediately opened the wallet.

So, come the next debate I will fix myself an even stiffer (mạnh hơn) drink, pace the floor like an animal in a cage, pull at what little hair I have left and, if necessary, repair to the deck to howl at the moon. But, however excruciating (khắt khe), I will watch to the end. If Biden can take it, we can too.
