"Spring to attention" nghĩa là gì?
03 Sep, 2021
"Spring to attention" có spring là bật dậy (như lò xo), attention là nghiêm -> cụm từ này nghĩa (trong quân đội) là nhanh chóng xếp hàng và đứng nghiêm.
Ví dụ
These are the neo-converts to the religion of hyper-nationalism who will now infect large numbers of the population who in turn will become soldiers guarding against malcontents (người bất bình). Tomorrow, if it is announced that not spying on your neighbours is unpatriotic (không yêu nước), these soldiers will spring to attention and get on with the job.
From the moment 17-year-old Donald Trump was named a captain for his senior year at New York Military Academy, he ordered the officers under his command to keep strict discipline (kỉ luật). Shoes had to be shined. Beds had to be made. Underclassmen (sinh viên năm nhất và năm hai) had to spring to attention.
As if this was not enough, all the Traffic Policemen along the three-kilometre route would spring to attention and salute (chào đón) me every time I passed by in the Police car with a very embarrassed me nodding my head or waving (vẫy) my hand at them. And, this embarrassment lasted all through the VIP lady’s stay in the hospital!
