Creek /krik/ 是「小溪」。Up a creek或者up the creek, 字面的意思是「逆流而上」,形容「處境困難,形勢不妙」。
例句1:
He was up a creek!
他當時一定是焦頭爛額。
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.
剛才的球後,我們隊的隊長不服裁判裁決,辱罵了裁判。我們這次就指著他贏比賽呢,現在倒好,這局還沒完他就被懲下場了。這可真麻煩了。我不知道我們要怎麼打才能得分。
