Ví dụ
Waterford face into the qualifiers with a fair hangover. If Prunty and Barron can be rehabilitated (phục hồi), it will stiffen the sinews, but Liam Cahill was correct to identify a certain flatness as a key issue for his team.
Once more unto the breach, dear bibliophiles, once more, stiffen the sinews, summon (triệu hồi) the blood and come to the rescue of your beloved books and bookstores, now under assault by their arch-enemy — e-books, e-commerce and sundry e-snakes in the grass like Amazon and other retail behemoths.
The rule – a new innovation in time for the European Championships – was intended (chủ đích) to cut down the number of games that went to penalties. Teams, it was hoped, would stiffen the sinews and strive to be the first to knock out their opponent in a high-octane, winner-takes-all shoot-out.
Churchill had to be restrained (phục hồi) by his military advisers in the dark days of war because he was not a strategic (chiến lược) genius, but he had a persona (tính cách) that could stiffen the sinews of a nation, and his posture of defiance was a tonic. Johnson has a quite different persona, and his postures, when not comic, are merely dismaying.
