completely ignorant

一窍不通

(yí qiào bù tōnɡ)

A: Hey sis, can you help me go over my math? My exams are really soon.

姐姐,能不能帮我辅导一下数学,我马上要考试了。

(jiějie, nénɡ bùnénɡ bānɡ wǒ fǔdǎo yíxià shùxué, wǒ mǎshànɡ yào kǎoshì le.)

B: Sure. Go get your homework and let me take a look.

没问题,去把你的家庭作业拿过来给我看看。

(méi wèntí, qù bǎ nǐ de jiātínɡ zuòyè ná ɡuòlái ɡěi wǒ kàn kàn. )

A: Sis, why are you just sitting there? Are the problems too hard for you?

姐姐,你怎么一直不动笔啊,是不是题目太难你不会做？

(jiějie, nǐ zěnmè yìzhí bú dònɡbǐ a, shì búshì tímù tài nán nǐ búhuì zuò?)

B: Actually, I majored in humanities. I know a lot about language, but I'm completely ignorant when it comes to math, physics and chemistry. You should go ask your teacher for help.

其实,姐姐是文科毕业的,对于语文我还是很擅长的,但是对于数理化我真是一窍不通,你还是去问老师吧。
