"For a wonder" nghĩa là gì?


"For a wonder" -> nghĩa là ngược với mong đợi, bất ngờ, ngạc nhiên.

Ví dụ
For a wonder, when we unwrapped it at our office, this huge concoction (trưng bày) actually almost resembled the promotional (quảng bá) photos the Birmingham, Ala.-based chain sent us and that are on display at the restaurant. It tasted good, too, though during the 15-minute drive back to the office, the bun got soggy (sũng nước); about 70% through the burger, it became more or less un-handle-able and we resorted to finishing the lamb patties with a knife and fork.

I'm in Albion now for a few days. I left Cotati and had no trouble breathing; the sun going down was pretty again, all brown-red-Caltrans-orange. But Juanita just texted me, just now, and for a wonder I got it; the cell service is really erratic (không đều) up Albion Ridge Road. 

His, for a wonder, would include Rock Creek Park—an urban oasis (ốc đảo) of broad meadows (bãi cỏ), bosky woodland, and motley bodies of water—and, clear across Georgetown, the majestic Washington National Cathedral, a monument voluble with history.
