Ví dụ
I can’t believe those lily-livered Republicans, who swore an oath (tuyên thề) to protect and defend the Constitution, voted against an investigation of the domestic terrorism on Jan. 6. What are they afraid of? Who are they protecting? Their blatant (la ó) partisanship proves they care nothing about our country or our democracy. Clearly their loyalty is to a narcissistic grifter, not America.
There were two main reasons for captain Joe Root’s lily-livered attitude (thái độ): his lack (thiếu) of faith in his young batsmen to help him score such a manageable total at average speed (Sibley, Crawley, Pope and Lawrence). Had Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, or even Johnny Bairstow, been in the side, he might have taken the gamble.
My whole career has been daunting (tẻ nhạt), quite frankly. Trying to exist in the music industry is not for the faint of heart, I can assure you. It’s not for the lily-livered.
No longer will lily-livered weekending urbanites be able to complain about the smell of pigs or slurry-spreading, or indeed the thrill being jolted awake by a cockerel's full-throated call.
