Ví dụ
Josh Culibao is a lean, mean fighting machine - but the featherweight (võ sĩ hạng lông) UFC fighter used to be just the opposite. Culibao will line up against Muay Thai specialist Choi Seung-Woo from South Korea at UFC 275 on Sunday, tipping the scales at a trim 66kg after weighing in at an incredible 100kg as a teenager.
There was a movie in the early 1980s called Stripes. In that moving, John Candy enters a wrestling (đô vật) competition as is convinced to do so by proclaiming that he was transformed into a ‘Lean, Mean, Fighting Machine’. That same transformation (biến đổi) is what A’Shawn Robinson is experiencing right now.
“Dear customer, due to congestion (đông nghịt) at the airport, we recommend you to report at least 4 hours prior to departure ….” went the SMS from a private airline, the lean, mean flying machine we had chosen to fly from Bengaluru to Abu Dhabi.
There is more than a little trepidation (rung động) to put this man on the list because he’s likely viewed as too high-profile for the lean, mean Sabres machine, but we’re going to do it anyway because management has made certain comments indicating a veteran right-handed defenseman is the stated goal this off-season.
