如何用英语表达“进退两难”

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

第一种表达：be （caught/ stuck）between a rock and a hard place 可以翻译成“左右为难，进退维谷”。字面意思就是“在岩石和坚硬地方的中间”，左右都不讨好，被困在中间，当然无法前进也无法后退。
I'd like to help you but I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
我也很想帮助你，可我的处境也让我很为难！
Since my mother and my wife were at war with each other, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
自从我妈妈和我老婆彼此不合，我就被卡在中间，两面不讨好。
第二种表达：be in a dilemma 左右为难;两难;不上不下;跋前索后。 单词dilemma的意思是“困境，窘境”。
I am in a dilemma whether to do math or English.
我左右为难，不知该做数学还是读英语。
In the process of modern urban development , we often find ourselves in a dilemma.
在现代城市化的发展中，我们经常发现我们处于进退两难的境地。
