Citizens imprisoned for their political beliefs are powerless against the government.因政治信仰而入狱的公民无力对抗政府。The people of Hungary were powerless against the tanks of the Red Army.民众无力对抗坦克。The villagers were powerless against the rising flood water.村民们无力对抗上涨的洪水。They were powerless to oppose them. He had them in his clutches. 他们无力对抗他。他控制着他们。
