"Dingo’s breakfast" nghĩa là gì?
19 Mar, 2022
"Dingo’s breakfast" = bữa sáng của Dingo -> nghĩa là không có bữa sáng nào hết. Câu này bắt nguồn từ những người lao động ngắn ngày, đi từ nơi này đến nơi khác để kiếm sống, thường ko có bữa sáng để ăn.
Ví dụ
Until last week. Essential Energy, the energy company that looks after the poles and wires that deliver electricity (điện) to 95 per cent of New South Wales and parts of southern Queensland, is a client (khách hàng) of ours. And I reckon life for them has been about as rewarding as a dingo’s breakfast.
In lean times, or when you are travelling and in a hurry to get going in the morning, there might only be time for “a dingo’s breakfast”, which is just a p-ss and quick look around before you embark (lao vào) on the day’s toil (công việc vất vả).
‘In the centre of Sydney on a quiet Sunday morning, ringed by police, inside an elegant recital (kể chuyện) hall, a crowd of prosperous (thịnh vượng), white Australians was baying for border protection. When Howard finished, there was a standing ovation (hoan hô). He took what bushmen call a dingo’s breakfast “ a sip of water and a quick look around “ then plunged into the applauding ranks of his supporters.’
