'High opinion' nghĩa là đánh giá cao, cho là tốt, là đúng.

Ví dụ

Swift's friend, Ed Sheeran, also has a very high opinion of Alwyn. "He's really nice," Sheeran said on Capital London's Breakfast Show (via the Daily Mail) when asked about Swfit's boyfriend. "Really, really friendly, really good dude."

I have a very high opinion of Robert E. Lee as a man and as a general. But I fully acknowledge those who consider him a traitor (phản quốc) who caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands in the defense of slavery (chế độ nô lệ).

While Mourinho, now manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is unlikely to go in for Henderson despite his high opinion of the 23-year-old, it does suggest that Henderson is ready to challenge De Gea for a place between the sticks.

I gave a partial answer, which was both true and important: I said Mattis was “good at not doing what he didn’t want to do” and that he had “a high opinion of his own opinion.” With that, Trump was off, explaining that he didn’t trust Mattis and how tired he was of constant press stories about Mattis’s outwitting (khôn hơn, mưu mẹo hơn, láu hơn; đánh lừa) Trump.

"Tall order" nghĩa là gì?

* BLM Statue, RVA. Robert E. Lee was a U.S. Army Colonel who turned against his oath and served as a leader in the Confederate Army, which waged war against the United States during the Civil War. This statue in Richmond, Va, which honors him, is part of a series of Confederates who are memorialized along Monument Boulevard in Richmond, VA. In June 2020 the Governor of Virginia announced it would be removed. Although the Confederacy fought to defend the institution of slavery and lost the Civil War, Lee, along with 10 other Confederate generals, still have active U.S. Army forts named after them as of 2020.

'Tall order' = mệnh lệnh cao -> nghĩa là điều gì đó rất khó làm, khó thực hiện.

Ví dụ

Tiger Woods' form is improving but a Major bid is a tall order.

Stothert said her main concern is enforcement (ép thực thi). If it’s a mandate (mệnh lệnh hành chính), people will face consequences (gánh chịu hậu quả) for not following the law — a tall order for police.

Tall order for new Petronas CEO: INCOMING Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) president and group CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz (picture) is widely expected to defuse tensions (giải tỏa căng thẳng) between the national oil giant and the Sarawak state government, as lengthy disputes (tranh cãi lê thê) will only add further uncertainty that would upset investors.

“The biggest challenge for Model Y continues to be attracting new consumers, which is a tall order in the short term due to financial uncertainties faced by many Americans and consumers around the world."

Since my days in George W. Bush’s Administration, I had wanted to extricate the United States from the INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces) Treaty. This may seem like a tall order, but I had been there before.

With the media in a foaming-at-the-mouth frenzy, Trump decided to issue an unequivocal statement of support for Mohammed bin Salman, which he essentially dictated to (đọc cho chép) Pompeo. The text was utterly unqualified (không đủ tiêu chuẩn) and thus risked harming Trump himself if the facts changed. It was not all that difficult to make a few editorial changes to build in protection, but Pompeo would not accept any changes or even hold the draft a day for further review. Pompeo said, “He asked for it, and I’m sending it in,” a characteristic “Yes, sir, roger that” answer.

You shall be received as lovingly as ever. We can discuss in a friendly manner what is to be done and settled as to the future. I pledge my word of honour you’ll meet with no reproaches (trách mắng, chỉ trích, sỉ nhục) from me, you can expect only the most affectionate (biểu lộ sự trìu mến với ai; có tình) care and assistance from me.

'A point of honour' nghĩa là vấn đề, hành động được coi là có tầm quan trọng rất lớn đối với lòng tự hào, niềm kiêu hãnh của ai; vấn đề danh dự.

Ví dụ

“It has always been a point of honor for Ohio’s Hospice to recognize (công nhận, thừa nhận) its Veteran (cựu chiến binh) patients (bệnh nhân) for their service (phụng sự) to the United States and to maintain a Veteran-centric approach to the highest level of care Ohio’s Hospice can provide,” Allen said. “We look forward to when our Veteran volunteers can return to offering our virtual reality program in person. But we’re grateful to Healium for providing us with another solution.”

Christopher Hitchens and I weren’t close friends—I was a lesser planet (hành tinh) in his orbit (quỹ đạo). Every so often I felt the rhetorical (hoa mỹ, khoa trương) lash (chỉ trích, đả kích) of his published words on my back, and then I tried to make him feel mine, and you can guess who got the better of those exchanges. They usually had to do with Iraq. We both supported the war, but I supported it in an ambivalent (hai chiều, nước đôi), liberal way, while Christopher supported it in a heroic, revolutionary way. The more I saw of the war, the deeper my despair became. Christopher made it a point of honor never to call retreat.

Defenestration nghĩa là gì?

shared from fb phan lặng yên,

-----

the action of throwing someone out of a window: hành động ném ai đó qua cửa sổ

the action of dismissing someone from a position of power or authority: loại/thải hồi ai khỏi vị trí quyền lực

𝟮. Tuy có gốc gác Latin đàng hoàng, de- rơi xuống + fenestra cửa sổ, nhưng Defenestration không xuất hiện tự nhiên mà ra đời từ một sự kiện cụ thể. 1618, người Tin lành Bohemian bất mãn ném hai viên quan nhiếp chính của Thánh chế La Mã cùng viên thư ký qua cửa sổ lâu đài Praha. Rơi từ độ cao 21m nhưng cả ba sống sót "như một phép màu" hay "nhờ rơi vào đống phân", tùy phe nào kể lại. Sự kiện này châm ngòi thùng thuốc súng căng thẳng sẵn làm bùng phát Chiến tranh 30 năm. Cuộc chiên thảm khốc này cướp đi sinh mạng của khoảng 1/3 người Đức, phần nhiều vì dịch bệnh và đói khát. Xung đột Công giáo - Tin lành sớm biến chuyển thành cuộc chiến giữa Pháp-Habsburg, nước Pháp Công giáo đứng cùng phe Tin lành chống đối thủ Habsburg. Kết thúc sau 30 năm khi các bên đều tiêu điều kiệt sức. Habsburg suy yếu, Bourbon Pháp và Thụy Điển vươn lên; Hà Lan độc lập khỏi Habsburg TBN sau 80 năm nổi dậy, bước vào kỷ nguyên vàng son; chế độ phong kiến châu Âu suy giảm nhường chỗ cho quân chủ tập quyền, ở Thánh chế thì hơi ngược lại. Trước đó tròn 200 năm, 1419 dân Praha làm một vụ ném tương tự, cũng dẫn đến chiến tranh, đánh dấu xung đột tôn giáo (tiền-Tin lành) chuyển từ tranh luận sang hành động.

𝟭. Thực ra tiếng Anh từng có từ ngày mốt - overmorrow, hôm kia thì ereyesterday, nhưng từ xưa đã ít dùng, giờ thì mất hẳn, cùng với mấy từ hay ho yesternight, yesteryear. Tiếng Việt thì khá 'đầy đủ' nhưng hơi lộn xộn vùng miền. Đếm lùi thì dễ: hôm qua, hôm kia, (hôm kìa). Còn đi tới thì miền Bắc: ngày mai → ngày kia; trong Nam lại: ngày mai → ngày mốt → ngày kia | ngày tê | ngày mốt nữa.

Ví dụ

In 1966, Mao commenced his “Cultural Revolution”, which is a polite way (cách lịch sự) of describing (miêu tả) a barbaric (dã man, man rợ) and seemingly mindless defenestration of the flower of Chinese society. It was a genocide (giệt chủng) of intellectuals (người trí thức), artists (nghệ sĩ), authors (nhà văn) and anyone with the mildest of political opinions.

As the scientists vented their anxieties about their colleague’s defenestration — and the unrelenting pressure (áp lực không ngừng nghỉ) and scrutiny (xem xét kỹ lưỡng) that comes with advising the government during a once-in-a-century pandemic — they were urged to seek out “pastoral support” from a new member, Ian L. Boyd, according to minutes of the deliberations.

“You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs.” That victory, as Charmley has argued, resulted in the dissolution (tan rã, phân hủy, giải tán) of the British Empire, and more immediately if less consequentially, in Churchill’s own defenestration by the war-weary British electorate in the elections of 1945. No wonder that not everyone was equally impressed by his oratory (hùng biện). The Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies remarked of Churchill during the World War II: “His real tyrant is the glittering phrase, so attractive to his mind that awkward facts have to give way.”

"Black Russian" là loại đồ uống mix đơn giản giữa vodka và rượu mùi cà phê, thường uống có đá.

You've heard of the White Russian. Heavy with Kahlúa, guzzled (uống ừng ực) by Dudes, decadently sweet. The Black Russian is basically that, but less frivolous (phù phiếm).

One cake in particular is the top seller. Owner Amelia Stephens took a recipe from Southern Living magazine and tweaked (điều chỉnh) it to make the Black Russian Cake.

Despite the name the only thing Russian about this white Russian recipe is the vodka. Yes, while the origins are not clear, this take on the Black Russian features vodka and coffee liqueur. Just add cream or milk and you have yourself a white Russian.

Traditionally, White Russians are made with Kahlúa, Vodka and a splash of cream and served in an Old Fashioned Glass. Contrary to the name, the White Russian (or Black Russian - a White Russian minus the cream) did not originate in Russia. They were simply given the name due to the vodka.

"Roman holiday" nghĩa là một sự kiện/hoạt động giải trí mua vui dựa trên sự đau khổ, bóc lột của người khác. Cụm từ được lấy cảm hứng từ bài thơ Childe Harold's Pilgrimage của Lord Byron, bài thơ đề cập đến đấu trường mà các đấu sĩ phải chiến đấu đến chết chỉ để giải trí cho khán giả.

Ví dụ

In 'The City of God' Augustine was much too canny (khôn ngoan) to commit himself on the point of whether the sack of the city, after the Goths' Roman holiday, meant the end of the Empire.

What a picture of cruelty (tàn ác) we see in the Roman age, with its amphitheatres (đài vòng), its gladiators (đấu sĩ), its horrors on a Roman holiday, and its slave quarters! No hospitals for the sick, no asylums for the poor and needy .

Well is it for the sitting Member if party exigencies (khẩn cấp) or family ties enable him to secure a "leader"; then will he be as popular as ever was a General with animals unknown before, or slaves from new races, gracing his Roman holiday!

Rome was now a Christian city, but some of the old sins (tội lỗi) remained. The gladiatorial (đấu sĩ) games continued to make a Roman holiday for the people. Christians were no longer thrown to the lions, but those captured in war had to fight and kill each other.

Ví dụ

He was a world traveler who rarely left home, yet he plotted a course through history for Britain. George III, who reigned (trị vì) from 1760 to 1820, was a pathbreaking monarch and an armchair general whose thirst for knowledge led him to collect more than 55,000 maps, charts, prints and manuals to savor in his private library.

Perhaps you wish to bark your orders like an armchair general, rather than fiddle around with the rather clumsy army command controls? If so, then the Screamerlord mod lets you yell your commands to each squad with the use of a microphone. It works really well in general, though it does struggle if you have quite a quiet voice.

There was no down time. We were constantly under fire. Every single mission we were taking fire and engaging with the enemy (kẻ thù)."

Dawn-to-dusk (từ lúc bình minh đến chạng vạng/chiều tối) hunting, with woods work, endless camp chores, cooking, dishes, cleaning game and a whole lot more make “rack time” easy, and fast, as 4 a.m. comes early in deer camp.
