"Like the Keystone Kops" nghĩa là gì?
21 Oct, 2022
"Like the Keystone Kops" = cứ như cảnh sát vùng Keystone vậy -> nghĩa là vụng về, vô dụng, không thích hợp với công việc; cảnh sát vùng Keystone là các viên cảnh sát vụng về, không hiệu quả, trong các bộ phim hài đầu thế kỷ 20 của tác giả Mack Sennet.
Ví dụ
Meister said the special forces officers who arrested him were professional (chuyên nghiệp) unlike the local Ottawa Police. ‘They were like the Keystone Kops,’ he said referring to the incompetent (kém cỏi) force depicted in silent movies in the 1910s.
Another consultant, who also didn’t want to criticize the party publicly, said: “The party is not raising money. We’re losing in voter registration (bảo đảm). And then this happens. It’s like the Keystone Kops.”
Coming off their first win of the season and looking to build momentum (đà đẩy), coach Bill Walsh’s team instead dropped to 1-2 and looked more like the Keystone Kops of 1978-79 who went a combined 4-28.
Cristobal also might have to deal with more staff turnover with defensive coordinator Andy Avalos considered to be the leading candidate (ứng viên) for Boise State’s head coaching position and special teams coordinator Bobby Williams’ unit preforming like the Keystone Kops on two kickoff returns.
