A-31：at loose ends 没事可做

A: I understand your feeling.When someone is feeling at loose ends, We may show mercy on him. This is what we call the"milk of human kindness".

A: 我能理解你的感受。当一个人心里没有着落时，我们就会对他怜悯有加。这就是通常我们所说的“人之初，性本善”。

B: That's right. But feeling sorry for someone is one thing,and sticking to our principles is another.We must make a clear cut between them.

B：说对了。但同情一个人是一回事，坚持原则是另一回事。我们必须明确区分这二者。

A: You've taken the words out of my mouth.

A：这正是我想说的。
