丹，你能帮忙把工作聚会用的蛋糕拿进来吗?它很大。

Um,I'm not the best person to ask. I'm all thumbs.

我可能不是最合适的人选。我笨手笨脚的。

Oh,then forget it. I don't want anything to happen to this cake!

哦，那算了吧。我可不希望这个蛋糕出任何问题!

Is there anything else I can help with?

还有其他我能帮忙的吗?

Sure! You can throw the bags of ice on the ground to break up the ice.

当然!你可以把冰袋扔在地上把冰弄碎。

Yes! Like I said, I'm great at dropping things.

没问题!就像我说的，我很擅长掉东西。

If you had no fingers and only thumbs, it would be really hard to do some things. You would likely drop things all the time.

如果你没有手指只有大拇指，做一些事情就会很困难。你可能会经常掉东西。

So,if someone is all thumbs, they are just a bit clumsy.

所以，如果有人 all thumbs ，那他们就是有点不灵活。
