English：
A standard practical English expression indicating that a certain way, plan or measure is infeasible and cannot achieve the expected effect; the original Chinglish uses incorrect vocabulary collocation that does not conform to English usage habits.
中文：
表示某一方式、方案或措施不可行、无法达到预期效果的标准实用英文表达；原中式英语使用了不符合英文使用习惯的错误词汇搭配。
该中式英语是中文“这个方法行不通”的直译。英文中“可行的”标准形容词为workable，完整句式结构为This method is not workable，符合日常及商务英文表达习惯，中式英语版本未使用。
