Ví dụ
Bryan was a silver-tongued orator who could charm (mê hoặc) birds out of the trees with his flowery speaking. In fact, the former congressman and failed Senate candidate from Nebraska unexpectedly won the nomination after delivering his “Cross of Gold Speech” at the Democratic convention, considered one of the most remarkable pieces of oratory in political history.
Biden has that same sense of decency (đứng đắn). His sense of empathy was forged through hardship — losing a wife and two children, not to mention his father having to uproot (buộc phải rời bỏ gia đình để kiếm sống) the family so he could find steady work — so he understands how quickly life can turn. Thanks to a lifetime struggle with stuttering, he is no silver-tongued orator. His connection to others is on a human level.
Frederick Douglass, one of our more brilliant and towering political figures, carved out numerous acts in his lengthy Shakespearean life, from enslaved (nô lệ) man to silver-tongued orator to global celebrity.
Running Antelope was interviewed in 1883 by the Bismarck Tribune, which described him as “the silver-tongued orator of the Sioux nation.” The paper asked him about the extermination (tiêu diệt) of the buffalo and he predicted grimly “if the present slaughter by the white men continues, buffalo will not last more than two years.”
