2. Go nowhere fast 毫无进展
Nowhere这个词是由no和where两个词组成的,所以Go nowhere意思当然是“哪儿都不去”。而fast这个词的意思是“快”。Go nowhere fast比喻费了九牛二虎之力去做一件事,却毫无进展。
For example:
I've been working on this problem all evening and I'm going nowhere fast! Could you help me out, because I just don't know how to do it.
我一晚上都在绞尽脑汁地解那道题,却毫无进展,你帮帮我好吗?因为我实在不知道怎么解。
