大家好,歡迎來的餅哥英語的頻道,今天我們分享一個非常有用且地道的表達——it can't be helped, 這個短語的含義不是指「它不能被幫助」,其正確的含義是:
it can't be helped 不可避免,別無選擇
I really didn't want to go away this weekend but, oh well, it can't be helped.
這周末我真的不想離家外出,可是,唉,真的別無選擇。

我把周六的時間花在打掃衛生上並不開心,但是別無選擇!房間太亂了!
We tried to stall for more time, but I'm afraid it can't be helped—you'll have to go on stage now.
我們想多拖點時間,但恐怕別無選擇--你現在必須上臺了。
