Between a rock and a hard place 左右為難
當(dāng)你身處于巖石與硬壁之間 between a rock and a hard place, 那么你面對棘手問題，讓你左右為難或進(jìn)退兩難。
今日小常識
The massive granite rock for this exhibit weighs 340 tonnes and was slowly transported along a winding, 169km journey from a quarry in Riverside County to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Positioned above a walkway, the outdoor sculpture is designed to look as if it is floating in mid-air.
這塊參展的巨型花崗巖重達(dá)340噸，從Riverside County 的一個礦場，歷經(jīng)169公里的路程被運送到洛杉磯郡立美術(shù)館。這尊安裝在人行通道上的室外雕塑給人一種仿佛是懸空漂浮的感覺。
例句
Bill couldn't make up his mind what to do. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
The interview candidates were all so good that Jenny was caught between a rock and a hard place over who to hire.
The government is stuck between a rock and a hard place over how it will make significant cuts to the budget.
請注意
短語 steady as a rock 意思是非常穩(wěn)定，不可動搖， 堅如磐石
The pressure was immense, but he was steady as a rock when he took the last throw of the game.
