Chicken Without Its Head──無法控制

**acting without thinking and seems very confused（未有思考且看起來很困惑迷茫）

!!This simile alludes to the barnyard experience where the body of a chicken whose head has been cut off sometimes totters (tremble, stagger, wobble) about crazily for a time before succumbing.

（這個明喻暗示農場的經驗，雞的頭被切斷後會在死前瘋狂地跌跌撞撞、顫抖、蹣跚、搖晃一段時聞。）

>>Some schools are acting like chicken without its head. During the Coronavirus epidemic, they force students to hand in their homework. Tests and dictations are required in less than two weeks since schools restarted. They completely ignore the guidelines of the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau.

（某些學校瘋狂行事，在新冠肺炎疫情期聞，迫學生交功課，復課不足兩星期便規定要測驗或默書。他們完全漠視教青局的準則。）

>>Some schools believe that due to the severe Coronavirus epidemic, the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau is running like a chicken without its head and not able to control them. They intentionally would not comply with its regulations. However, those schools have to "repay" in the future, because the Bureau can decide the future land grants, site selection and subsidies for the schools.

（一些學校認為由於嚴重的新冠肺炎流行，教青局將無法控制全面，也無法控制他們。他們就有意不遵守教青局的規定。可是，那些學校將來是要“償還”的，因為該局可以決定學校未來的土地授予、選址和補貼。）
