Ví dụ
“I suspected the Bush people were desperate (tuyệt vọng) and wanted to showcase party unity,” said Michael Barone, who covered the conventions (thỏa thuận) with Robert Novak. “And that they wanted Buchanan to do a hatchet job on Clinton.”
Walking outside of his barn at Del Mar racetrack, one of the most successful and controversial (gây tranh cãi) horse racing trainers in Southern California turned to an owner ambling (đi thong thả) alongside. As a columnist neared, a mischievous grin punctuated a cheeky introduction: “He’s here to do a hatchet job on me.”
“When I first started writing it, I thought, I’m just going to make these girls pay,” Butterfield said. “I’m going to do a hatchet job on them. It’s my time for revenge (trả thù). But as always happens when you write characters, you start to fall in love with them. You start to relate to them. You start to wish them the best, even if you didn’t like the original people they were based on. It turned out to be a very different play.”
