"Grant no quarter" -> nghĩa là không tha thứ, nhượng bộ, thương xót.
Ví dụ
His demand (yêu cầu) that the Americans surrender (đầu hàng) was met by Doniphan’s stern (lạnh lùng) rejection. The lieutenant’s parting words were: “We will grant no quarter.” They were understood to mean that no prisoners would be taken.
"We will not let up (từ bỏ) on any front until we can say what we said 19 years ago that measles (bệnh sởi) has been eliminated," Day said. "We will grant no quarter to anyone who by action, deed, obstinance or apathy looks to put that health of our county at risk once again."
Yet Mizoguchi expresses no nostalgia (hoài niệm) for the passing of that profession. He seems even to locate an element of hope in Mickey’s physicality and candor, which grant no quarter to traditional hypocrisies.
But if you can’t ignore it and they insist you take notice, draw the attention off you, or otherwise rub your nose in their success, get really pissy! Redouble (tăng thêm) your efforts to outshine everyone, elbow your way back to the center of the universe, and grant no quarter in your quest to be best!
