'Hands are tied' = tay bị trói -> không được tự do hành động, bị ngăn cản giúp đỡ hay can thiệp vào do vượt tầm kiểm soát của ai (bởi quy tắc, mệnh lệnh hoặc ưu tiên khác)

Ví dụ
When it comes to data breaches 'our hands are tied at the moment. We're sort of powerless against banks,' says one woman.

Gary Hamilton admits his ‘hands are tied’ at the minute as they bid to try and tie Rhys Marshall down to a new deal at Mourneview Park.

“The intent (ý định, mục đích) is clear, to push the limits as much as we can under federal law and also to fight as hard as we can both on the legislative front and on the legal front in order to have local control back in our hands over these particular facilities,” Jacob said.
