"Hanged, drawn and quartered" nghĩa là gì?
02 Jun, 2021
"Hanged, drawn and quartered" = treo cổ, moi ruột và phanh thây -> nghĩa là các hình thức tra tấn khủng khiếp, hành hình.
Ví dụ
The protagonist (nhân vật chính) is hanged, drawn, and quartered (a brutal form of execution that really was that barbaric) after refusing to bend the knee to his supposed English overlords, but he still gets the final word, bellowing out "freedom!" with his dying breath in an iconic movie moment that's been parodied countless times.
He was hanged, drawn and quartered in Edinburgh although, ironically, Argyll’s Scottish Government then switched sides to support Charles II’s bid to regain (chiếm lại) the throne (ngai vàng) – which led to Oliver Cromwell occupying Scotland and building his fort at the Longman.
His body was then left there until three tides had washed over it - to symbolically drown him. But this once traditional method of dispatching pirates isn't the only unusual method of execution from yesteryear. Forget being beheaded, burnt at the stake or even hanged, drawn and quartered - here Daily Star reveals history's most bizarre (kì lạ) form of capital punishment (xử tử).
I’m so glad that attitudes have changed over the intervening (ở giữa) half century, but in my day, you might not exactly have been hanged, drawn and quartered, but the ensuing retribution (trừng phạt) for such sartorial rebellion would not have been all that far off.
