没办法

gōng gòng qì chē wǎn le wǒ méi bàn fǎ

公共汽车晚了，我没办法。

I couldn't help it if the bus was late, it wasn't my fault.

tā men de kǒu tóu chán shì wǒ méi bàn fǎ zhǐ néng dāi zài zhè lǐ wǒ bié wú xuǎn zé

他们的口头禅是我没办法，只能待在这里，我别无选择。

Their mantra is I can't find a way out, I have to be here, and I have no choice.
