Ví dụ
It had begun to go around in circles. June would defy (bất chấp) the rules, escape the authorities, get captured, undergo torture, and then begin the whole cycle again.

“My husband told me we should just wait, maybe it'll come in the mail,” Mendez said. When a check (tờ séc) didn’t arrive, Mendez said she tried to track the payment online and by phone. “It's a loop,” said Mendez. “You just go around in circles and circles and circles. I've been at this since July 15.”

We continue to go around in circles with this team. For some reason we maintain at least some belief that things will turn around, the breaks will even out, the hitters will go on a rampage, and the pitching staff will be more miserly (keo kiệt) in shutting down opponents. It’s a matter of time; the Cardinals will fly again!
