"Old sins have long shadows" nghĩa là gì?
06 Nov, 2022
"Old sins have long shadows" = tội lỗi năm xưa có bóng dài -> nghĩa là những sai lầm, thói quen xấu ngày xưa có thể tiếp tục mang đến hậu quả trong tương lai.
Ví dụ
Old sins have long shadows — especially as long as people are alive to remember the sins. We visit Amache, where thousands of Japanese Americans and other immigrants (người nhập cư) were imprisoned during World War II. Every May, descendants (hậu duệ) and survivors return.
A Haida Gwaii man learned the hard way that old sins have long shadows, in Princeton court this week. Glenn Chevalier was slapped with a $2,500 fine (tiền phạt) after pleading guilty to failing to report to his probation officer (người quản chế) eight years ago.
A cleverer title was hidden in the excellent script by Nick Dear: a retired copper (cảnh sát) relayed some ancient gossip to Poirot and reminded him, ‘Old sins have long shadows.’
