IDIOMS CHỈ THỜI GIAN

1. Day in, day out

Khi bạn nói rằng mình làm một thứ gì đó suốt nhiều ngày trời, hết ngày này sang ngày khác, ngày nào cũng giống nhau thì điều đó có thể được diễn đạt như sau:

- I couldn’t stand doing the same thing day in, day out for months. I’d go crazy!

2. Every other day

Nghĩa của thành ngữ này cũng gần giống như thành ngữ “day in, day out” ở phía trên, song nó mang mức độ biểu cảm thấp hơn. Nói cách khác, bạn có thể hiểu tần suất của “every other day” thấp hơn “day in, day out”.

Ví dụ:
- What’s wrong with that photocopier?
- It goes on the blink every other day. It’s useless.
Qua ví dụ này, bạn có thể hiểu rằng chiếc máy photocopy trong câu trên rất hay bị hỏng (This machine goes wrong very often).

3. In a row

Khi có một chuỗi sự kiện hoặc hành động nào đó xảy ra liên tiếp nhau, bạn có thể sử dụng thành ngữ này để diễn tả tính chất liên tiếp, nối đuôi nhau của chuỗi hành động hoặc sự kiện đó.

Ví dụ:
- Your supervisor informs me that you’ve been late for work four days in a row. Is there a particular problem we can help you with?

4. In due course

Thành ngữ muốn nói mình sẽ làm một việc gì đó trong khoảng thời gian mình vẫn dành cho nó.

Ví dụ:
- I’ll be studying English with this website in due course.
(I’ll be studying English with this website in the usual amount of time I spend for it).

5. Once and for all

“Once and for all” có nghĩa là “lần cuối” (one final time), bạn có thể sử dụng thành ngữ này khi muốn diễn đạt một hành động hoặc sự việc sẽ không còn xảy ra trong tương lai.

Ví dụ:
- Could you please tell him once and for all that we can’t give the result of the interview by phone and that we’ll be mailing the letters next week?

6. Ahead of time

Cụm từ này mang nghĩa “trước” (before).

Ví dụ:
If you want to have a nice place, you really should book a couple of hours ahead of time and they’ll arrange things.
(Nếu bạn muốn có một chỗ tốt, bạn nên đặt trước vài giờ trước đó và họ sẽ sắp xếp cho bạn.)
