今天再介绍一个来自玩扑克牌游戏的词汇:the cards are stacked against you。the cards are stacked against you。这句话是说,你处于很不利的情况下,成功的机会很少。下面的例子是说一个人受了骗:
"last night i got into a poker game with these men i met in the hotel bar. and i lost a thousand dollars before i realized the cards were stacked against me. all i could do was pick up the money i had left and walk away."
这人说:“昨晚上,我和几个在旅馆酒吧间里碰到的人一起玩扑克游戏。直到我输了一千多美元后,我才忽然省悟到我想要赢他们恐怕是不可能的。我只好拿起剩下的钱就走了。”
下面我们要举的一个例子是说,有的时候形势就是对你不利,但是毫无办法。
"i really wanted to try out for the basketball team when i was in college. but the cards were stacked against me: i’m only five feet six inches tall and everybody else was six-two or even taller."
这个人说:“当我上大学的时候,我真想参加篮球队。可是,那不可能,因为我身高只有一米六多,而其他人都至少有一米八。”
take it for granted 认为理所当然
