"Adam’s ale" nghĩa là gì?
03 May, 2021
"Adam’s ale" có ale là rượu bia -> cụm từ này nghĩa là nước, nước lã.
Ví dụ
Malaysia is a country that is blessed (phù hộ) with an abundance of water sources. Instead of looking after this Adam's ale, we abuse it. Our rivers and lakes are turned into garbage bins (thùng rác), convenient waterways for us to dump all sorts of refuse, whether domestic or industrial. The major water-supply disruption caused by pollution in Sungai Gong, a river which eventually leads to Sungai Selangor, happened just last month.
The sensation (cảm giác) of wonder and delight could only be heightened should some of our ASTORS, LAWS, or VANDERBILTS, magnanimously (hào hùng) invite the City to take a drink, and, in our new reservoir (hồ nhân tạo), make us 97 acres of punch! If we can’t get the punch, however, we shall be amply gratified for the Adam’s ale.
It’s not called Adam’s ale for nothing. Water was presumably (có lẽ) what our early ancestors (tổ tiên) drank, to the exclusion of everything else. If you stopped drinking it now you would be dead within a week. It is the only nutrient whose absence is lethal in so short a time.
But these issues are literally a drop in the harbour compared to the big picture of how climate change, poor planning, increasing densification (đông đặc), market distortions and other factors are sending supplies of Adam’s ale dangerously low.
