as a final option 万不得已
“万不得已”,汉语成语,意思是表示无可奈何,不得不如此。可以翻译为“have no other choice but,out of absolute necessity”。与英文惯用语“as a last resort”意思相近,表示“as a final option, usually when preferable ones have failed”。 例句: 这是一个万不得已的办法。 This is the last resort. 万不得已时,医生将进行手术。 As a last resort, the doctor will perform surgery. 不是万不得已,我们不会出此下策。 If it hadn’t been out of absolute necessity, we would not have taken such an unwise decision. |
