是pull oneself up by one's bootstraps这个成语是对的!这意味着您将不得不在经济上或其他方面自救,而无需他人的任何帮助,而是利用您现在拥有的东西来寻找解决方案或努力工作。示例: I managed to pull myself up by my bootstraps and started using my woodworking skills to make some extra money. (我下定决心要靠自己度过难关,开始利用我的木工技能赚点外快。) 例子: It's hard to pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you don't have many skills. Sometimes getting help is necessary. (在没有很多技能的情况下,独自完成事情并不容易。有时需要寻求帮助。)
