    Question "cost him his very life". Mot cach dung tu rat la

    Sau day la` mot doan gioi thieu phim cua HBO:
    "Tom Welles (Cage) is a private eye on the biggest case of his life when he is hired by a widow who finds a reel of 8mm film in her dead husband's safe. The film appears to be a snuff movie but the girl in it really looks like she was murdered. The widow wants Tom to get to the bottom of the case and find out what really happened to the girl and what was her husband's involvement in the film. Tom follows the trail and soon discovers that the secrets he uncovered may cost him his very life."

    Agileball,
    Thêm vào giaỉ thích của Trunnie.
    Đây là Tỉnh chứ không phải Trạng từ, như vậy chúng ta có quyền đặt nó ở trước danh từ để no bổ nghĩa cho danh từ...

    VERY: adj. ver·i·er, ver·i·est


    1. Complete; absolute: at the very end of his career; the very opposite.
    2. Being the same one; identical: the very question she asked yesterday.
    3. Being particularly suitable or appropriate: the very item needed to increase sales.
    4. Being precisely as stated: the very center of town.
    5. Mere: The very thought is frightening.
    6. Actual: caught in the very act of stealing.
