Paper bag是纸做的口袋,是一撕就破的东西。如果谁连个纸袋也无法挣脱的话,那他简直就像小虫子一般软弱无力 了。当然cant fight ones way out of a paper bag这个习惯用语是用作比喻的。
我们来看个例子,说的是Larry聘用律师控告他的上司种族歧视。
例句-5:Larry has almost no chance to win his case, Im afraid. The company lawyer is shrewd and very tough. And the young lawyer Larry hired looks like he cant fight his way out of a paper bag.
恐怕Larry几乎没有机会打赢他的官司。公司的律师非常精明强干,而Larry聘用的年轻律师却显得如此软弱无力。
我们再来看个例子。它说的是一场拳击赛。一般人都认为这是一场令人永世难忘的比赛,但是说话的人却看法不同。我们来听听他的意见。
例句-6:They said this match will be the fight to remember for a long time. I dont think so! Smith is quick on his feet but he cant punch hard. In fact I dont think he can fight his way out of a paper bag!
