发布者:北雅国际英语 发布时间:2025-04-02 13:47
你是不是经常遇到:想表达“来不及了”,却只会说 "No time!"(老外其实说 "It's crunch time!"),想催人快点,脱口而出 "Hurry up!"(太生硬!试试 "Let’s get a move on!"),其实这样的表达还有很多。
时间紧迫
1. 正式/中性表达
Time is tight.
时间很紧。(适用于工作、考试等正式场合)
We're running out of time.
我们快没时间了。
The deadline is approaching.
截止日期快到了。
2. 口语/非正式表达
We're pressed for time.
我们时间紧迫。(强调时间不够用)
Time's running out!
时间不多了!(带紧迫感,适合紧急情况)
3. 强调必须加快速度
We need to hurry!我们得快点!
There's no time to waste.
没时间浪费了。
We're up against the clock.
我们在跟时间赛跑。
例句:
The project is due tomorrow—time is tight!
项目明天截止,时间很紧!
We're pressed for time, so let's skip the small talk.
时间紧迫,咱们别寒暄了。
Time's running out—make a decision now!
没时间了,快做决定!
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

You might as well try 你不妨试试。
The repair costs too much. You might as well buy a new one.

Don’t you have anything better to do?
