“Not for the life of (one)” = không dành cho cuộc đời ai -> câu này thường được dùng khi bạn không thể làm điều gì dù cố gắng nhiều đến đâu.

Ví dụ
“I just could not, for the life of me, go to bed.” Later that morning, Creech called her mother, who is a health care provider in Nashville, Tennessee.

“When Dirk got sick and I mean he was sick,” Butler said. “Me personally I did not for the life of me, for the life I did not think that Dirk was going to be able to play. And I’ll never forget him being mocked by a good friend of mine, the godfather to one of my kids, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James. We saw the video, like we saw the visual, of like them coughing and making fun of the whole situation.

Then I thought about small business owners and employees whose jobs also require close personal contact. These include my sons’ martial arts instructor (người dạy, người hướng dẫn võ thuật). He still can’t operate normally. I thought about hair stylists, manicurists (thợ cắt sửa móng tay), massage therapists, etc., who still can’t reopen. I could not for the life of me figure out why professional sports was chosen over the others.
