如果一个人的双手被捆住了,那么这个人则无法动弹,也没办法做自己想要做的事情。在英语中,我们用表达“somebody's hands are tied 某人的双手被绑上了”来形容一个人身不由己、无能为力的状态。我们多在口语中使用这个说法。
例句
the manager wanted to let her staff go home early, but her hands were tied.
虽然经理想让她的员工早点回家,但是她权力有限,不能自作主张。
i'd love to spend more money on this but i don't control the budget. i'm afraid my hands are tied.
我愿意在这上面多花点钱,但预算不归我负责。所以在这件事上,我身不由己。
i'm sorry but my hands are tied. i can't give any 1 without a receipt.
很抱歉但我无能为力。在没有收据的情况下,我无法给您退款。
