"Little group of willful men" nghĩa là gì?
24 Dec, 2023
"Little group of willful men" = nhóm những người cứng đầu -> nghĩa là mối bất hòa giữa Tổng thống Woodrow Wilson với nhóm nghị sĩ phản chiến trước việc Mỹ tham gia Thế chiến II.
Ví dụ
Again, in line with Wilson’s views: When the Senate dawdled (la cà) on doing his will, he called it variously “a lot of old women” and “a little group of willful men.” The Supreme Court’s refusal to be an ideological rubber-stamp?
On Sunday, time ran out on the bill (đạo luật), and it died. That evening, Wilson denounced “the little group of willful men” who had “rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible (đáng khinh).”
The Senate of the United States is the only legislative body in the world which cannot act when its majority is ready for action. A little group of willful men, representing (đại diện) no opinion but their own, have rendered the great government of the United States helpless and contemptible.
