如果形容某人是 in safe hands 意思就是他们是在可靠的人手中,有强人在关照。
- John is going to be operated on by one of the best surgeons in the country. He's in safe hands.
- The new CEO of the company had degrees in engineering and business administration. The staff knew they were in safe hands.
值得注意的是,短语a safe pair of hands意思同上面讲到的表达意思类似,指某人是可以被信赖的,工作中不会出差错的。
- My boss gives me all the difficult assignments. He knows I am a safe pair of hands.
