"Filthy lucre" nghĩa là gì?
05 Jan, 2023
"Filthy lucre" có filthy là bẩn thỉu -> từ này nghĩa là tiền bẩn, lời lộc từ hoạt động bất chính.
Ví dụ
This pernicious (độc hại) attitude to traffic management by our military is condemnable (có thể kết án được). The security of the state must not be compromised on the altar of making filthy lucre by men who ought to protect the people.
On paper, several teams floundering (loạng choạng) in our wake have spent a lot more US dollars, petro-dollars and assorted other types of filthy lucre.
Politicians, those with filthy lucre know this but don’t have the nouse or indeed the courage to make the big step change. Dinosaur economics is here to stay so long as banks and politicians support it. Profit first humanity (nhân tính) second.
You find them mounting illegal checkpoints where they solicit (van nài) bribe from motorists and arrest innocent passersby they brand “suspects” in order to extort them for the filthy lucre. Those are the “give us our daily bread” policemen, who have established the culture of daily fleecing (lừa đảo).
