    chữ thế giới = world thì đúng hơn. Vũ trụ = universe.

    Dịch qua nghĩa tiếng VN như bác Mạnh thì nghe sát nghĩa hơn.

    Paddy... yes the gioi = earth=world....I didn't translate it literally word for word..

    for me I took it world as universe...as universe= greater than earth...for the sentence is an exaggeration in itself...I wouldn't miss it for the WORLD..

    Theo tôi có thể hiểu:
    A: Bạn có biết về hội chợ (sách, tiểu thuyết) khoa học (tổ chức) vào ngày thứ bảy không?
    B: dĩ nhiên là biết, thật sự là tôi không bỏ lỡ cơ hội này.

    bác dịch thiếu chữ fiction. Trong câu này là khoa học giả tưởng.

    "Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world".

    My version sounds more like Vietnamese!!!
    Đương nhiên, (là biết rồi đó) tôi sẽ không bỏ lỡ cơ hội như thế trên đời này đâu.

    The sentence is a contraction. Its real meaning is "I would not exchange my visit to the sc-fi fair for the world"

    for all the world as if/as though.....for all the world like sb/sth (formal) =exactly as if...; exactly like sb/sth

    for example:
    She behaved for all the world as if nothing unsual had happened.
    He looked for all the world like a schoolboy caught stealing apples.

    Yes. In those examples, "for all the world" can be removed without changing the meaning. The addition of "for all the world" adds some emphasis but means "to everybody".
    I hope that helps.
