 郑中基在《左右为难》里唱道:“我的决定,会有怎样的伤害?面对着爱人和朋友,那一个我该放开?一边是友情,一边是爱情,左右都不是,为难了自己。”相信很多人都遇到过左右为难、进退两难的情境吧。那么,英语中如何表达呢?请看:“between a rock and a hard place”。


从字面意思看,一边是岩石,一边是很硬的地方,你被夹在里面,那绝对很为难了。这种表达源自20世纪初的美国。当时,亚利桑那州的矿工要求工厂提高工资、改善工作环境,遭到了厂方的拒绝。结果,一些工人就被驱逐到了新墨西哥州。这些可怜的矿工被置于进退两难的境地。要么继续干苦工,要么失业。真的很难选择。
看下面例句:
I'd like to help you but I am stuck 1 between a rock and a hard place.(我是想帮你,但是我现在左右为难啊!)

v.刺(stick 的过去式及过去分词)adj.动不了的;被卡住的;被…缠住的;被…难住的,不知所措
  • The car wheels got stuck in the mud. 汽车轮子陷到泥里去了。
  • I gave up my job because I felt I was stuck in a rut . 我放弃了我的工作,因为我觉得那种生活呆板无聊。
