Thành ngữ 'Time on one’s hands' có nghĩa là thì giờ nhàn rỗi, chẳng có gì để làm.

Ví dụ
Brett hasn’t been able to play soccer since he broke a toe (gãy một ngón chân). Whereas he used to have a full schedule of training, practices and games, lately he’s found nothing to do. He has so much time on his hands, he’s bored (buồn chán). He can’t wait to start playing again.

When my twins (con sinh đôi) were very young, I was always busy. I never had a free minute to myself because I was always looking after (chăm nom) the kids. But now that they are going to elementary school, I have some time on my hands. That’s why I’m thinking about going back to work part-time.
