"Hard put to (do something)" = Khó khăn để làm/hoàn thành việc gì, nhất là việc có vẻ không có khả năng làm được.

Ví dụ
It is not exactly memorable movie-making, but if you are after big-time adventure scaled to a human dimension (khối lượng, kích cỡ), you would be hard-put to do any better.

Ten years ago, a property manager could satisfy investors “by just managing sticks and bricks,” he says. “Today, clearly the expectation has shifted to include a mastery (ưu thế, tính thông thạo) of real estate (bất động sản) as an investment. Without that understanding, the property manager is hard put to do his or her job.”

Many other SUCs have implemented the no tuition collection policy, but Tan said that they are still hard put to do the same thing in the UP system. He admits that the government is still unclear about its policy on free education, especially regarding the eligibility (đủ tư cách, tính thích hợp) of the students to avail (giúp ích, có lợi) of free tuition (miễn học phí). He said there are various interpretation of the policy, ranging from tuition subsidy (tiền trợ cấp học phí), no tuition collection, and no tuition increase.
