"Be/got dealt a bad hand" nghĩa là không may mắn, gặp bất lợi, tình huống khó kiểm soát.

Ví dụ
“We’ve been dealt a bad hand,” the governor said at a news conference (họp báo) Thursday, noting he’s aware Nevadans are eager (khao khát) to resume (lấy lại) their lives.

In the present, disrupted scheme (kế hoạch đổ vỡ) of things, to say that the small business players who depend on the travel machinery (tổ chức du lịch) for their livelihoods (kế sinh nhai) have been dealt a bad hand would be a gross understatement (nói giảm).

We called the front desk (lễ tân) last week and asked if they would open the window and place my mom in her wheelchair (xe lăn) so that we could extend our Easter (Phục sinh) wishes. Before leaving I read her a lesser-known poem — “The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew” — by Ronald Doe. It’s a tribute (tỏ lòng kính trọng) to his wheelchair bound younger sister Kelly. “Even though she got dealt a bad hand, she remained strong and dignified (đáng tôn quý) throughout her life. That is why she’ll always be ‘The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew.’”
