Cách sử dụng
The word 'albatross' is a noun that refers to a large seabird with long wings that lives in the Southern Ocean. The word is often used metaphorically to describe a burden or problem that one has to carry around or something that is always on their mind and causing them trouble. So, if someone says, "I feel like I have an albatross around my neck," it means they have a heavy burden or problem that is causing them difficulty. This metaphor comes from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," in which the main character kills an albatross and is then forced to wear its carcass around his neck as punishment.
