【句子】Well, I have a court order. It's out of my hands.【Desperate Housewives S02E03】

【发音技巧】have a连读；court order连读；It's out of两处连读+闪音；

【翻译】咳，这是法庭判决，我也没办法。

今天学一下这个短语：

out of one's hands

这个短语字面的意思是：超出某个人的手。

其实就是“对某件事情、某个局面失去控制、无法对此负责”的意思；

not within one's control

或者

If something is out of your hands, you are no longer responsible for it and there is nothing you can do about it.

eg:Things were out of our hands now. We could only wait.

事情已经超出我们控制范围了，我们只能等。

eg: I'm afraid the matter is now out of my hands. You'll have to write to the Area Manager.

恐怕这事情现在已经不在我控制范围内了，你得写邮件去联系区域经理。

eg: I submitted my application, so it's really out of my hands now.

我已经提交了我的申请，所以这事儿就不受我控制了。

eg: The boss decided to take the project out of Roger's hands.

老板决定不再让Roger负责这个项目。

eg: The contract had to be gotten out of Alice's hands because she announced that she was leaving.

这份合同不能再让Alice负责了，因为她已经宣布她要离职了。

eg: The problem's out of my hands now that Jerry's taken over responsibility for the department.

既然杰瑞已经接管了我们这个部门，这问题就不再是由我负责处理了。

eg: Unemployment is getting out of hand.

失业问题已经有点难以控制了。

hands不一定要用复数，one's也不是一定要有，

get out of hand也可以表达近似的含义；
