"A modern-day Paul Revere" nghĩa là gì?


"A modern-day Paul Revere" = Paul Revere thời hiện đại -> nghĩa là người bắt đầu cuộc hành trình, sứ mệnh dài để truyền thông tin quan trọng; Pau Revere là nhà yêu nước nổi tiếng nhờ chuyến đi đêm cảnh báo các nhà yêu nước khác vì lính Anh hành quân.

Given my subtitle, you might be thinking that I’m a Luddite or some crackpot Chicken Little (“The Skype is falling!!”). But I’m not some anti-tech kook (really, I’m not).

The left now understands (let us hope) that like the British aristocracy (tầng lớp quý tộc) of the 18th century, the GOP is going to war to retain (chiếm đoạt) power by any means. We need a modern-day Paul Revere (and a William Dawes, who didn't get a mention in the famous Longfellow poem) to raise the alarm.
