另外一个来自玩扑克牌游戏的词汇是:The cards are stacked against youThe cards are stacked against you。这句话是说,你处于很不利的情况下,成功的机会很少。下面的例子是说一个人受了骗:
1 ): "Last night I got into a poker game with these men I met in the hotel bar. And I lost a thousand dollars before I realized the cards were stacked against me. All I could do was pick up the money I had left and walk away."

这人说:“昨晚上,我和几个在旅馆酒吧间里碰到的人一起玩扑克游戏。直到我输了一千多美元后,我才忽然省悟到我想要赢他们恐怕是不可能的。我只好拿起剩下的钱就走了。”
下面我们要举的一个例子是说,有的时候形势就是对你不利,但是毫无办法。
2) : "I really wanted to try out for the basketball team when I was in college. But the cards were stacked against me: I'm only five feet six inches tall and everybody else was six-two or even taller."
这个人说:“当我上大学的时候,我真想参加篮球队。可是,那不可能,因为我身高只有一米六多,而其他人都至少有一米八。”
