"In heaven's name" nghĩa là gì?


"In heaven's name" = nhân danh thiên đàng -> câu được thêm vào khi đặt câu hỏi để cho thấy sự ngạc nhiên, tức giận của người hỏi.

Ví dụ
Moreover, it throws a confusing wrench in the current case. Cinda is clearly only too happy to set things up to create a good narrative (câu chuyện) for her podcast. But what in heaven’s name was she doing trying to get the Rose Cooper painting? 

“Ben woke up one morning and said, ‘I’d like to be on ‘The Ellen Show,’’ ” Sandy recalled (hồi tưởng). “And I always say, ‘Well, I’d like world peace.’ But like, why would that ever happen? You’re just a guy from Lansdale. Why in heaven’s name would that ever work out? He was like, ‘No, Mom. I’m gonna make it happen.’ ”

Selena Leonard isn't buying that (không tin). She has a question for the Scotiabank officials who made the decision to close the bank. "What in heaven's name are you thinking?"

And what in heaven’s name is Dolores Hart, straitlaced (quá khắt khe) even before she quit acting and became a Catholic nun, doing in a book about the counterculture (phản văn hóa)?
