地道表达：

force one’s hands

解词释义：

force作为动词，意为“强迫，逼迫，迫使”的意思，force one’s hand就是“迫使某人勉强或提前做某事”，引申为“强人所难，逼人就范”。

支持范例：

Eg. They forced John’s hands to run the department and teach a full load of courses.

要约翰管理这个系，又要他上满工作量的课程，这是强人所难。

Eg. The dean force Jim’s hands by asking Jim not to go home in the winter vocation.

主任要求吉姆寒假不要回家，这真有点强人所难了。

Eg. It is disgraceful that she should own him for a friend, and force his hands to company on me!

她把他当个朋友，而且强迫我和他来往，真是有失体统。

Eg. He was in the control of evil men who forced his hands to do wicked things .
