Shoulda Coulda 来自英语环球ChinaPlus 00:00 08:40

Meaning: It is of no use to dwell on what should have (shoulda), could have (coulda) or would have (woulda) happened/been done. Said as an attempt to shorten a discussion that focusses on the past, thus providing no solution to an actual problem.

A

There is no use for shoulda, woulda, coulda discussions. We simply need to get on our feet and go out to seek solutions.

别这个那个地解释了，没用！我们需要的是立刻行动，去寻找解决方法。

B

I am really fed up with his shoulda, woulda, coulda. Can he just for once come up with an applicable plan?

对他的各种解释和假设，我实在是受不了了，他能不能想出一个行之有效的方案，哪怕是一次?

C

We can sit here all day and worry about shoulda, coulda, woulda, but in the end I made the decisions I made.

（最后一句依然留给大家来翻译。）
