2. In a Pickle: 處于困境

How Shakespeare used it:

In The Tempest, King Alonso asks his jester, Trinculo, "How camest thou in this pickle?" And the drunk Trinculo – who has indeed gotten into trouble – responds "I have been in such a pickle since I saw you last ..." (Act 5, Scene 1)

莎士比亞原文：在《暴風(fēng)雨》中，那不勒斯國王阿朗索問他的弄臣特林鳩羅，“你怎么讓自己到這般境地了？”的確深陷困境且已爛醉的特林鳩羅回答說：“我自從上次參見過您之后就一直處于這般境地了…”（第5幕第1場）

One theory has it that the phrase in a pickle entered English from an old Dutch expression that translates as something like "sit in the pickle".

有一種說法認(rèn)為in a pickle這個(gè)短語來源于一個(gè)古代的荷蘭語表達(dá)，類似于“坐在咸菜缸”里這樣一個(gè)說法。
