學俚語記單詞：with one hand tied behind one's back

　　下星期我要在家大擺筵席，請十多個同夥來用飯。我歷來沒給這麽多人做過飯，內心有點犯嘀咕。如果換成我媽，確定一點不怵。在她眼裏，給一眾人子人做飯不外是小菜一碟。就像英語中說的：with one hand tied behind one's back.

　　With one hand tied behind one's back, 意思是把一只手綁在暗地裏，實際上是指做某事異常闇練，易如反掌。相似咱們中文裏說的“我閉著眼睛都能做!”

　　預備十多個顧客的晚餐，對我媽媽來講便是這麽易如反掌的事， she can do it with one hand tied behind her back. 她閉著眼睛都能做! 生存中有各種各樣的達人，具有讓咱們愛慕的技術，比以下面這段話中的電腦妙手：

　　例句-1：When my computer crashed again, I was almost resigned to buying a new one. Luckily, my friend Scotty came over. Within an hour, he got my PC running again, removed a virus and installed a new hard drive. It wasn't hard for him at all. In fact, he says he can fix a computer with one hand tied behind his back.

　　這段話說：我的電腦又蕩機了，此次我險些廢棄了，預備買台新的。榮幸的是，我的同夥Scotty來到我家，不到一個小時，他就讓我的電腦從新運轉起來，還消除了一個病毒，安了個新硬盤。這些工作對他來講一點不難。究竟上，他說他閉著眼睛都能修電腦。

　　咱們可以把如許的電腦人材通稱為computer geek. Geek指特殊愛好研究某種技巧或技能的人。好比，我有個同夥特殊愛好數學，他便是math geek, 數學妙手。那些讓我看了如墜雲霧的數學題，he can solve them with one hand tied behind his back. 他易如反掌地就可以做出來。

　　固然我數學不在行，可我寫作文還可以，跟下面這段話中的這小我差未幾，我們來聽一聽：

　　例句-2：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. I can come up with a twenty-page research paper with one hand tied behind my back!

　　這段話的意思是：我的一些同窗為了寫作的功課而頭疼不已。我不明確，寫器械有那末難麽?只要網絡一些有效的信息，列個提要，打個底稿，再糾正一些文章中的毛病，不就好了麽。我可以絕不辛苦地寫出一篇20頁的查詢拜訪申報。

　　咱們適才提到，中文裏說“閉著眼睛就可以做某事”，以形容對某事的闇練，英文裏則說, with one's eyes closed。怎樣，和中文的說法千篇一律! 好比，a computer geek can fix a computer with his eyes closed. 電腦達人閉著眼就可以把電腦修睦。
