- He hasn't a bean.
= لا يوجد معه اللضه وبالعامية ما حيلته اللضة.

Achilles heel
= نقطة ضعف

Achilles is a character from Greek mythology. When he was a baby, his mother took him to a magical river. She dipped him in the river, and because the river was magical, everywhere the water touched his body, he was protected for life. But, of course, the water didn’t touch his heel. Later, in the Trojan War, he was shot with an arrow in his heel and died.

شخصية أخيليس هي إحدى الشخصيات في الأساطير الإغريقية. حملته والدته، عندما كان صغيرًا، وقصدت به نهرًا سحريًا، وغطسته في المياه. بسبب المفعول السحري لمياه النهر، كان كل جزء من جسمه يلامس المياه، يكتسب حماية مدى الحياة. ولكن المياه لم تلامس كعبيه. فيما بعد، في حرب طروادة، أُصابه سهم في كعب رجله وأدى إلى مقتله.


Tell us what is your Achilles heel?
