Dan,can you help bring in the cake for the work party? It's big.

丹，你能幫忙把工作聚會用的蛋糕拿進來嗎?它很大。

Um,I'm not the best person to ask. I'm all thumbs.

我可能不是最合適的人選。我笨手笨腳的。

Oh,then forget it. I don't want anything to happen to this cake!

哦，那算了吧。我可不希望這個蛋糕出任何問題!

Is there anything else I can help with?

還有其他我能幫忙的嗎?

Sure! You can throw the bags of ice on the ground to break up the ice.

當然!你可以把冰袋扔在地上把冰弄碎。

Yes! Like I said, I'm great at dropping things.

沒問題!就像我說的，我很擅長掉東西。

If you had no fingers and only thumbs, it would be really hard to do some things. You would likely drop things all the time.

如果你沒有手指只有大拇指，做一些事情就會很困難。你可能會經常掉東西。

So,if someone is all thumbs, they are just a bit clumsy.

所以，如果有人 all thumbs ，那他們就是有點不靈活。
