Significado: This is so illogical I need someone to explain it; nothing about this is rational.

这也太不合理了，谁来给我解释一下；这完全说不通。

Esto es tan ilógico que necesito que alguien me lo explique; nada de esto tiene sentido.

意味がわからない。誰か説明してくれ。理不尽すぎる。

너무 말이 안 돼서 누가 좀 설명해줘. 도무지 이해가 안 가.

An exasperated demand for logic when something is absurdly contradictory, unfair, or confusing. Often rhetorical — the speaker doesn't actually expect an explanation because the situation is inherently nonsensical.

当某件事荒谬地矛盾、不公平或令人困惑时，发出的一种恼怒的要求解释。通常是反问——说话的人并不真的期望得到解释，因为事情本身就是不合理的。

Una petición exasperada de lógica cuando algo es absurdamente contradictorio, injusto o confuso. A menudo es retórica: el hablante no espera realmente una explicación porque la situación es inherentemente absurda.

何かが不条理に矛盾していたり、不公平だったり、混乱する時に論理を求める呆れた要求。たいていは修辞的——その状況が本質的にナンセンスなので、話し手は本当に説明を期待しているわけではない。

뭔가가 터무니없이 모순되거나, 불공평하거나, 혼란스러울 때 논리를 요구하는 절규. 대부분 수사적 표현으로——상황 자체가 말이 안 되기 때문에 실제로 설명을 기대하는 건 아니다.
