"I only have one pair of hands" = tôi chỉ có hai tay mà thôi -> nghĩa là sức người có giới hạn, vì vậy đừng đưa ra những yêu cầu vô lý hoặc những mong muốn không thực tế.

Ví dụ
Mrs Woodward: Oh no! Actually Ed, I do also need flour (bột mì) for the cake. You’ll have to replace it when you get the eggs tomorrow.
Ed: You are pretty demanding, you know. I only have one pair of hands. But I’ll see what I can do.

Four nights after giving birth, Angela returned home and has had to look after both babies by herself ever since. She said: “It’s hard because one will need changing and then the other will need changing and I only have one pair of hands.”

Probably the more important factor (yếu tố) is that I only have one pair of hands – there’s only that much I can do at a time. Thankfully, most of my customers do understand that it takes time for a piece of handmade craft.
