例句1:
He was up a creek!
他当时一定是焦头烂额。
例句2:
After the last volley, the captain insulted the referee for a call he didn't agree with. He was our best chance of winning and now he can't play for the rest of the set. We're really up a creek. I don't see how we're going to score.
刚才的球后,我们队的队长不服裁判裁决,辱骂了裁判。我们这次就指着他赢比赛呢,现在倒好,这局还没完他就被惩了局了。这可真麻烦了。我不知道我们要怎么打才能得分。
