"Like trying to scratch your ear with your elbow" = cố gãi tai bằng khuỷu tay -> nghĩa là vô cùng khó khăn, không thể nào.
Ví dụ
Wasting shells on Bonney and company was about as useless as trying to scratch your ear with your elbow.
“You have as much chance of avoiding that long way down as scratching your ear with your elbow.” As tempted as I was to test his metaphor (ẩn dụ), I figured it was just a scheme to distract me.
Replacing her in his life was proving to be impossible. He tried to act as if she didn't matter; however, it was like trying to scratch your ear with your elbow. It wasn't going to happen. At least not anytime soon.
“I've asked myself the same question and I still have no idea. But if we can start ruling things out, like drugs or a heart attack, maybe we can close in on what really happened.”
“That's gonna be like trying to scratch your ear with your elbow."
I had a sinking feeling he was right.
