You would answer "No" if there was nothing the person could do. "Yes" would mean there *was* something they could do.
Why? In Greek would a "no" mean, "No, it is not true that there is nothing you can do"? (This is the case in Japanese. Students are warned of answering a negative question with a 'no', thus inadvertently implying 'yes'!)
"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution" - Daniel Webster
