你是不是經(jīng)常遇到:想表達(dá)“來不及了”,卻只會說 "No time!"(老外其實說 "It's crunch time!"),想催人快點,脫口而出 "Hurry up!"(太生硬!試試 "Let’s get a move on!"),其實這樣的表達(dá)還有很多。
時間緊迫
1. 正式/中性表達(dá)
Time is tight.
時間很緊。(適用于工作、考試等正式場合)
We're running out of time.
我們快沒時間了。
The deadline is approaching.
截止日期快到了。
2. 口語/非正式表達(dá)
We're pressed for time.
我們時間緊迫。(強調(diào)時間不夠用)
Time's running out!
時間不多了!(帶緊迫感,適合緊急情況)
3. 強調(diào)必須加快速度
We need to hurry!我們得快點!
There's no time to waste.
沒時間浪費了。
We're up against the clock.
我們在跟時間賽跑。
例句:
The project is due tomorrow—time is tight!
項目明天截止,時間很緊!
We're pressed for time, so let's skip the small talk.
時間緊迫,咱們別寒暄了。
Time's running out—make a decision now!
沒時間了,快做決定!
Clock is ticking (tick tick)
倒不如 xxx
Might as well 倒不如;不妨;干脆
one should do something only because there is nothing better to do

我們可以再去趟John家里,除非你能想到更有趣的事情。
You might as well try 你不妨試試。
The repair costs too much. You might as well buy a new one.
