"With one hand tied behind my back" nghĩa là gì?
"I never agonize over writing assignments for class. I can come up with a 20-page research paper with one hand behind my back!” ;) |
'With one hand tied behind one’s back' nghĩa đen là với một tay bị buộc đằng sau lưng, tức là làm một việc rất dễ dàng, y như chỉ cần một tay mà thôi (kiểu 'nhắm mắt, viết tay trái' cũng được).
Ví dụ
“Some of my classmates agonize over their writing assignments for class. I don’t understand what’s so difficult. Simply gather good information, make an outline, create a first draft, then edit any mistakes. Well, I can come up with a twenty-page research paper (bài khảo cứu) with one hand behind my back (dễ như chơi)!”
“When my computer crashed again, I was almost resigned (bó tay) to buying a new one. Luckily, my friend Scotty came over. Within an hour, he got my computer running again, removed a virus and installed a new hard disk. It wasn’t hard for him at all. In fact, he says he can fix a computer with one arm tied behind his back.”
VOA
