"The answer to a maiden's prayer" nghĩa là gì?


"The answer to a maiden's prayer" = đáp lời trinh nữ nguyện cầu -> nghĩa là người đàn ông có phẩm chất tốt, cuộc sống ổn định, "chú rể lý tưởng" của cô gái trẻ; nghĩa bóng là giải pháp lý tưởng/tuyệt vời cho một vấn đề.

Ví dụ
Last night’s encounter (chạm trán) was not so much a debate between the two leaders even given some of the feistiness (nóng nảy) that broke out from time to time. It was more a reckoning with ordinary people — the taxpayers who are going to be casting a vote on May 21 — and some of those are still not persuaded (thuyết phục) either leader is the answer to a maiden’s prayer.

My husband was neither neurotic (dễ kích động) nor elderly, not a sadistic (tàn ác) sociopath nor a compulsive womanizer with a Big Love approach to marriage—which is only a mere soupçon of the happy relationships I had optimistically and masochistically embraced—but rather the answer to a maiden’s prayer. 

So what if I’d had two failed marriages? By my age, Elizabeth Taylor had managed three. And Ron seemed the answer to a maiden’s prayer.

So it’s a tad disconcerting (bối rối) for Anastasia when he makes her sign a non-disclosure document, forbidding (cấm đoán) her from telling anyone about them – and then introduces her to his private torture (tra tấn) chamber: a network of restraining cuffs, ropes, chains and shackles, and a gleaming accessories department of paddles, whips, riding crops and feathery floggers. It’s hard to imagine it’s the answer to a maiden’s prayer.
