"Hatch, match, and dispatch" nghĩa là gì?

"Hatch, match, and dispatch" = sinh ra, kết hôn và chết đi -> nghĩa là các giai đoạn, dấu mốc trong cuộc đời con người, 'sinh lão, bệnh, tử'; nghĩa khác là thực hiện các nghi lễ chào đời, kết hôn và tang lễ.

Ví dụ
Dr Hugh would hatch, match and dispatch his adored patients and revel (thích thú, ham mê) in the life-cycles through which he played a caring part. He embodied the oath (lời thề) 'do no harm'. He was there for everyone, all the time.

I am not a churchgoer (người đi lễ nhà thờ) – my visits falling very much into hatch, match and dispatch – yet I find a peep through an open church door irresistible. The most memorable (đáng nhớ) was one into the now deconsecrated (hoàn tục) St Mary’s in Knightwick, Worcestershire, where, aged 12, I spotted the windowsills and altar festooned with jam-jars of spiky dahlias and pots of greengage jam.

Some pastors joke that they help people “hatch, match, and dispatch,” by celebrating births, weddings, and funerals.

And here’s a third question: A machine can repeat ritualized “hatch, match, and dispatch” words for us, but can it share our experience as an empathetic (đồng cảm) companion? And if it can’t, does that diminish the meaning of the ritual?
