The Chinese word 受不了 is commonly used to express the feeling of being unable to endure or tolerate something. It can be used to describe physical discomfort or emotional distress, and is often used in situations where someone is feeling overwhelmed or frustrated. For example, if someone is feeling nauseous and unable to continue eating, they might say “我受不了了” which translates to “I can’t take it anymore”. Similarly, if someone is feeling emotionally drained after a long day of work, they might say “今天太累了，我受不了” which means “Today was too tiring, I can’t handle it”.
