大家好,欢迎来到小强英语!你很忙吧?你是不是总对你的朋友说I am busy!?今天,我们来换换花样,看看除了busy, 我们还能怎样表达自己忙碌的状态。
1. have/get one's hands full 很忙,应接不暇
I have got my hands full already with all kinds of work, and haven't got the time for any more.
我手头已经堆满了各种工作, 因此我无暇再搞别的事啦。
2. be up to one's neck 忙得不可开交
I can't possibly come out tonight. I'm up to my neck in work.
今晚我不可能出来,我的工作忙得不可开交。
3. Not have time to catch one's breath 连喘口气的功夫都没有
I don't even have time to catch my breath.
我连喘口气的工夫都没有。
如果你一定要用busy呢,你可以用be as busy as a bee/beaver, 那样人家就能知道你是真的忙得团团转了。好了,本期的节目就是这样,我们下期再见!与小强互动,请上新浪微博@小强英语。
