"Milking the bull" nghĩa là gì?
27 Sep, 2021
"Milking the bull" = vắt sữa bò đực -> nghĩa là làm, tham gia vào hoạt động không có khả năng thành công, hoàn toàn vô ích.
Ví dụ
Qadyani, who lives in Iran, also called "incorrigible" (không thể sửa được) and claimed that talking about reforming the Islamic regime amounts to "pounding water in a mortar," or "milking the bull."
The New Zealand First MP told The Country's Jamie Mackay things got a bit heated (sôi nổi). "While the general farmers were at home milking the cows, they were down there milking the bull." Jones says his comment was unintelligent (không thông minh) and he does not believe the vast majority of farmers belong to 'Ngati Redneck'.
They keep trying to milk the bull. Milking the bull is a proverb (câu ngạn ngữ) which uses the metaphor (ẩn dụ) of milking a bull to indicate that an activity would be fruitless or futile.
There are dozens of authors (tác giả) today who are busily trying to milk the bull. It's not fair to say, as Johnson did, that they are all just self-promoters who have hopped on to the atheist bandwagon (though some have), but it's hard to read their productions without thinking that they're equally fruitless.
