Ví dụ
PTTEPAA was supremely (cực kì) careless. Its management of the Montara well didn’t come within a bull’s roar of competence and the consequence (hậu quả) of that failure was that almost fifteen and a half thousand seaweed farmers suffered devastating economic loss. The Australian courts have found they should be compensated for that.

To not even come within a bull’s roar of the pay requests that nurses have put on the table, just to catch up with peers, is not just an insult but also demonstrates (cho thấy) a deeply disturbing blindness to the vital role these essential health professionals play.

The irony was not lost on ­holiday-makers on the first flight that while they received a heartfelt Bula from an overseas destination, they are not within a bull’s roar of a West Australian stay and two weeks away from being ­allowed back to Queensland.

With the greatest of respect to those three sides, none of them came within a bull's roar of playing finals, but when the Titans faced big guns Melbourne in round 23, Holbrook got Fifita back into the starting side to match motors with Jesse Bromwich, Christian Welch and Felise Kaufusi.
