Now, the man or woman “on the ground” has no choice but to listen and make the best of a bad bargain when faced with official bombast (khoa trương) in English.
The Select Committee of 1816 largely concurred (đồng tình) that Elgin’s actions amounted (tiến tới) to an abuse (lợi dụng) of his diplomatic position, were in breach of good faith, occurred without the consent of either Greeks or Turks in Athens – and only succeeded by dint of extensive, prolonged bribery and threats. Nevertheless, voting to make the best of a bad bargain, the Committee decided to purchase the marbles for a sum (£35,000) that was less than half of what Elgin requested to cover his debts and expenses and to give them to the British Museum – complete with the new patriotic (yêu nước) narrative about the motives and circumstances surrounding their acquisition.
We did make the best of a bad bargain during Q4. The demand was moderate due to sporadic (rời rạc) improvement in Industrial activity but the B2C automotive sector was yet to recover. The strong headwinds due to the pandemic and the skyrocketing of raw material prices across Baseoils, Steel, Packaging, Additives and Chemicals, and Logistics, posed multiple challenges.
