speed bumps
减速带 / 挫折
字面意思是马路上的“减速带”,但在口语中,尤其是在描述人生或事业时,常用来比喻前进道路上的“小挫折”、“小阻碍”。Jake 用它来自嘲最近破案不顺,只是遇到了一些「unlucky speed bumps」。
That's already way more than I know about it.
The point is, I'm a super-awesome race car who's hit a couple of unlucky speed bumps.
You got speed bumps on a race track? Is that not part of car racing? It should be.
