"Kind hearts are more than coronets" = trái tim nhân hậu hơn ngai vàng -> nghĩa là nhân cách con người mới là thứ có giá trị, chứ không phải dòng dõi quý tộc.
Ví dụ
Tennyson may have found it comforting (an ủi), in his poem “Lady Clara Vere de Vere”, to claim “Kind hearts are more than coronets/And simple faith than Norman blood”, but the persistence (bền bỉ) of at least a muted element of Norman ascendancy after 27 generations suggests that social mobility is a less practical ambition than is frequently assumed and that Boris Johnson may face a daunting task in levelling up.
The film gets its title from a poem (bài thơ) by Alfred Lord Tennyson “Lady Clara Vere de Vere which includes the line – “Kind hearts are more than coronets, and simple faith than norman blood” – that is, it is better to be a decent human being than have riches and power, advice that Louis fails to follow.
It is 150 years since this comedy was first seen in London. While it is eminently (rõ ràng) worth reviving for its portrait of the chasm (lỗ hổng) separating the social classes in Victorian England, the only pity is that it sentimentally suggests that rancid (ôi thiu) snobbery can be softened by the belief that kind hearts are more than coronets.
What about "kind hearts are more than coronets"? It's become famous and well-loved in its own right, as well as being influential (có tầm ảnh hưởng) - inspiring the name of a certain Ealing comedy, for one thing..
