"A movable feast" nghĩa là gì?


"A movable feast" = lễ hội di động -> nghĩa là ngày nghỉ lễ không cố định hằng năm; nghĩa khác là điều gì không cố định, xảy ra bất kỳ khi nào thích hợp.

Ví dụ
On the surface, Leo Gazzara lives a charmed existence: About to turn 30, he is part of a movable feast of scenesters and revelers (người ăn chơi) in 1970s Rome, “adrift like me, intellectuals, for the most part, with the anxious but expectant look of refugees.” 

As I consider the other side of that scale, though, I return to those moments of kindness, isolated (cô lập) but inseparable (không thể tách rời) interactions. These, I’ve decided, are the Olympics’ best argument. No matter where the Games take place, they unroll (mở ra) a movable feast of humanity. Unlike any other sporting event, the entire world sits at the table. 

“In terms of the winding-up (thanh toán) of the business, we know it will continue to be a movable feast and we cannot provide an exact figure until all the transactions (giao dịch) have been concluded, hence (do đó) we have an indemnity (bồi thường). “We believe that is an appropriate and sufficient indemnity and we have made a provision (cung cấp) in the accounts for any liability (trách nhiệm) that could be associated.

Tours have been a movable feast. Anyone who has booked a ticket to a live show in the past six months only to have it rescheduled three times knows this.
