In the same boat

字號(hào):

In the same boat
    Definition: to be in the same unpleasant situation facing the same challenges
    這又是一個(gè)可以找出漢語(yǔ)對(duì)應(yīng)表達(dá)的慣用語(yǔ),很顯然,be in the same boat相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)的“在一條船上”,意思是處境相同,多和all連用成為all in the same boat,例如: These may be difficult times but we're all in the same boat. We can get through it together,這一例句有點(diǎn)同舟共濟(jì)的味道。和漢語(yǔ)一樣,這個(gè)慣用語(yǔ)主要用于大家共同面臨困難或危險(xiǎn)的場(chǎng)合。在團(tuán)隊(duì)精神被大力提倡的今天,你可能有更多機(jī)會(huì)用這個(gè)慣用語(yǔ)來(lái)表示整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)需要同心協(xié)力來(lái)克服困難取得成功,這么說(shuō):We can't fight against each other. We need to work together. We're all in the same boat. 這個(gè)慣用語(yǔ)后多跟as 表示和誰(shuí)處于同一境地,例如:If he loses his job he'll be in the same boat as any other unemployed person.
    Example dialog:
    A: I'm so busy. I don't know how I will get this done.
    我太忙了,不知道怎么才能把它做好。
    B. You're not the only one with a lot to do. We're all in the same boat.
    不是你一個(gè)人有一大堆事要做,我們大家和你處境一樣。
