Set in Concrete; Carved in Stone; Casted in Iron
含义：这三个词组基本上是三胞胎 - 含义是一模一样的。但使用的频率不一样，第一个大概最popular; 第二个偶尔可见；第三个很少有人用了，我见过的一些使用的地方也往往是跟第二个联用，以加强语气。
例句：
A: Mr. Premier, how dedicated is your administration to build the rail link from Lidcombe to Chatswood?
B: Oh that's carved in stone, casted in iron. We will have a rail link from Lidcombe to Chatswood, I promise!
