Ví dụ
The grouse-shooting season extends (kéo dài) from 12 August – the Glorious Twelfth – to 10 December. Estates across Britain have been postponing (hoãn) the opening of their seasons, and trying to find alternative activities for those who still wish to visit.
As we approach the Glorious Twelfth 2021, tweed (vải tuýt) has a strangely Janus-like existence. It retains its cachet (nét đặc biệt) as the country fabric par excellence, characterising the country house party and the rural aspirations of fogeyish young men; until the end of the last century, it would commonly be seen in the City and Westminster on Fridays, as men (and some women) of business and politics prepared for their flight to their country piles for the weekend.
August! If we were in the British Isles (đảo nhỏ), August marks the beginning of their hunting or shooting seasons, or rather Aug. 12 or ‘the glorious twelfth,’ as they call it. That marks the first date for shooting pheasants (chim trĩ) and red grouse on the moors of Scotland and the race to London with the first brace of game birds to feed the nobles.
This year, the Glorious Twelfth marks so much more than the start of the grouse season. It is a celebration of the upland (vùng cao) communities that are playing such a vital role against the climate and nature crises.
