"Buckley's hope" nghĩa là gì?
08 Nov, 2022
"Buckley's hope" = hi vọng Buckley -> nghĩa là có ít, hay không có chút hi vọng nào. Nguồn gốc của câu nói này không rõ ràng, có thể có liên hệ tới "Buckley's and none", câu chơi chữ của tên cửa hàng bách hóa Buckley & Nunn; hoặc có liên hệ tới tên tù nhân thực dân William Buckley đã vượt ngục.
Ví dụ
The ACTU has also had the temerity (táo bạo) to suggest the government scrap the ”stage three” tax cuts. They’ll have Buckley’s hope of getting any support for that at a summit (hội nghị) where most of the delegates (đại biểu) will reap (thu hoạch) $9000 a year when it goes into effect in two years. Anthony Albanese has also made it clear that the government won’t change it.
Sometimes Australians will say that you’ve got "Buckley’s chance" or "Buckley’s hope" of doing something. That means that you’ve got little or no chance at succeeding (thành công) at whatever you’re trying to do. You might hear that you’ve got "Buckey’s chance" of getting a table at a busy restaurant or "Buckley’s hope" of spotting a kangaroo in the Sydney city center. Sometimes, they simply just say "Buckley’s."
In the long haul, the global game has always been viewed as the greatest threat and most serious competitor for the AFL, even though the A-League has Buckley’s hope of eclipsing the AFL commercially.
