左右为难 进退两难
    2021-01-25  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

Son: Dad, I’m going to apply for a job at the ice cream store downtown.

Dad: Why? Don’t you still want to be a journalist?

Son: Yeah I do… But they all said that they’re not going to hire me because I don’t have any experience.

Dad: Well, how do they expect you to have any experience if they don’t give you a chance?

Son: You’re right. It’s a catch-22.

Note: The idiom comes from the title of a book — “Catch-22,” written in 1961by U.S. writer Joseph Heller. Nowadays people use it to describe a dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions.
