dead wood  英 [ded wud] 美 [dɛd wʊd]

n. 死木头,无用的人;无用的物 

The fact he didn't convince either Hodgson or Dalglish of his merits to the side means he has been denoted to be "dead-wood" by Reds fans and journalists. 事实上,约万在边锋的位置上并没有向霍二或者国王证明自己的实力,这也使得他被红军球迷和记者们看做‘不开窍的死木头’。
This makes sense to me intuitively, because 25% of any office is people who are dead wood and are not going to look for another job—ever—and therefore don’t want anyone else to. 这在直观上对我有很重要的意义,因为在任何一个部门都有25%的人是毫无价值的,但是他们不自寻出路,另外找份工作——从来都不——因此也别指望他们任何人会那样做。
