*a hold on someone : có tác độngmạnh mẽ đến ai
VD:
-The strange religion seemed to have a strong hold on its followers.
-The drug has a hold on the minds of those who use it.
*strong as a horse = *strong as an ox = *strong as a lion : rất khoẻ:eek:
VD:
- Jill: My car broke down; it's sitting out on the street.
Jane: Get Linda to help you push it; she's as strong as a horse.
- The athlete was strong as an ox; he could lift his own weight with just one hand.
-The football player was strong as a lion.
chain is no stronger than its weakest link: câu thành ngữ đề cao sức mạnh của tập thể ( đoàn kết là sức mạnh;) )
VD:
A successful group or team relies on each member doing well. George is completely out of shape. I don't want him on our ball team; a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
come on strong = come on like gangbusters: có vẻ rất là tức giận:rolleyes:
VD:
The new president comes on strong at first.
Going strong: hoạt động/vận hành (máy) tốt, giàu năng lượng (người)
VD:
We are still well and going strong.
strong-arm tactics: vũ lực, sử dụng vũ lực
VD:
No more strong-arm tactics. You need to be more subtle. Strong-arm tactics are out. The boss says be gentle and don't hurt anybody.
the strong, silent type: chỉ kiểu người mạnh mẽ và trầm tĩnh
VD:
Clark looks like the strong, silent type. Actually he is slightly deaf and that's fat, not muscle.
use strong language: dùng những lời lẽ doạ nạt
VD:
I wish you wouldn't use strong language in front of the children. If you feel that you have to use strong language with the manager, perhaps you had better let me do the talking.
a strong stomach: chỉ khả năgn nhìn nhận very unpleasant things dưới con mắt khách quan, ít bị tác động bởi tiêu cực
Vd:
Some of the war scenes are fairly horrific - you need to have a strong stomach to watch them.
