"Wormwood and gall" nghĩa là gì?


"Wormwood and gall" -> nghĩa là cay đắng, thất vọng, hổ thẹn.

Ví dụ
O loving Heart, how is it that you have been changed into an abyss (vực thẳm) of pain? O my Queen, when I consider your Heart in this state, it is no longer that Heart that I see; I see in it more than myrrh, wormwood, and gall.

The influential (người có thế lực) Rashba, Rabbi Shlomo ben Avraham refers to “having expunged (xóa tên) him from our borders”, denouncing his book Malmad Hatalmidim as “wormwood and gall”.

All wormwood and gall, he's a vile, bloviating (phình to), epithet volcano. He's the really evil twin of Simon Cowell, Ari Gold or Genghis Khan. Ridiculously over-the-top -- even though loosely based on Tony Blair's own hatchet man -- Malcolm is also one of TV's truly sublime comic creations. Try bottling that, HBO, and best of luck.
