好心好意卻幫倒忙用英語怎么說

To have your heart in the right place 這個短語的書面意思是“心在正確的地方”，實際上它常用來描述一個心地善良的人處于好意去幫助別人，但可能因為幫了倒忙而使他人不高興或不領情。

例句

My mum always tidies up my house when she comes to visit. I know her heart is in the right place but I really don’t like it when she takes over my life like that. She even dusts the plants!

I know the boss’s heart is in the right place by not firing Mike. But really, Mike is so unreliable and bad at his job that it’s creating a lot more work for the rest of us.

請注意

當我們請求某人行行好或替他人著想的時候，我們則可以說 have a heart。 另一個表達 have no heart 的意思則是無情的，沒良心的。

例句

Have a heart, you can’t break up with him on his birthday.

This company’s got no heart. They sacked him for being five minutes late. He’s got a family to support.
