實用口語:如何說"我無能爲力"
My hands are tied 我無能爲力
A: Mr. Chapman, can I hand in my homework next time. I left it at home.
A: Chapman 先生, 我能不能下次再交作業呢? 我把功課忘在家裏了。
B: All of the scores must be given to the office by Friday, so youmust have your homework today. It is a school rule and there is nothingI can do. My hands are tied!.
B: 所有的分數都必須在禮拜五前交到辦公室(學校), 所以你今天一定要有你的作業。這是學校的規定, 我無能爲力。
"My hands are tied." 在這裏並不是真正「手被綁起來」的意思, 而是指「沒辦法」的意思。好比電話響了, 你很忙不能接, 也可以說:"Can you get it? My hand are tied." (我很忙, 你能接一下嗎?" 。
