"Smell of the lamp" nghĩa là gì?
29 Jan, 2021
"Smell of the lamp" = mùi của cây đèn (dầu) -> nghĩa là rất chăm chỉ, nỗ lực học tập, làm ăn.
Ví dụ
Yet Gass is not just out to be nasty (ghê gớm) or to be smarter than everyone else. His stories do not smell of the lamp, of overwrought study (học hành quá nhiều), but of a genuine existential desperation (tuyệt vọng).
She also bore a family resemblance (nét tương đồng) to half of my female Irish relatives. Stanwyck didn't have the whiff of legend about her, just the smell of the lamp.
The book is tightly structured (yes, we noticed that time frame) and nicely paced. Its gender-swapping theme will find enthusiastic (nồng nhiệt) support, I’m sure. But among all the art-historical references which, alongside endless accounts of mixing pigments (chất màu) (at least we don’t have to wait to watch them dry) smell of the lamp a little, we might profitably have had some words from Benvenuto Cellini, who reckoned that artists could get away with murder if only they were good enough.
