"The more things change, the more they remain the same" -> nghĩa là 'càng thay đổi thì càng trông như cũ'.

Ví dụ
It has been 20 long years since Gaikwad last coached (huấn luyện) the Indian team. In these last two decades, he has witnessed a rapid (nhanh chóng) and drastic evolution. From the rise of T20 cricket to India being crowned world champions twice, to the Men in Blue emerging as world beaters. But like the old adage goes, the more things change, the more they remain the same.

John F. Kennedy once said, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past and present are certain to miss the future.” Anyone working in the wellness industry and seeking to find a path forward in this post-COVID-19 pandemic era, should keep this quote in mind. For wellness practitioners, it is clear that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Welcome to the new normal.

There were Jim Crow laws that suppressed (đàn áp) the right to vote. The more things change the more they remain the same. Persons of color did not enjoy equal protection under the law. Education, the first rung up the ladder of success, was separate and different for persons of color; this was segregation (chia tách).

The pandemic was supposed to teach the rich and powerful some empathy (cảm thông) towards the hapless (người kém may hơn). On the contrary, we are witnessing a case of "the more things change, the more they remain the same".
