本期图片特别鸣谢：北平旧少年

有的时候我们提前约定好了时间去一起做某一件事，但，不凑巧的是，

临时有一些什么事情导致无法准时赴约。

这样的情况简直是太多了，

那么如何用英文表达“临时有点事儿”说？

Something came up.

可以用：

something came up，或者
Something has come up.
临时有点事儿

【解释】

"Something has come up" means that something very important has happened ，

which you need to deal with instead of keeping your original appointment.

You say this when you don't want to explain exactly what the situation is.

【例句】

I'm so sorry, but something has come up.

Can we reschedule for next week instead?

真不好意思，我临时有点事儿，

咱们能调到下周吗？

We were supposed to meet today ，

but something came up at the clinic.

我们是今天要见面，但是门诊那边临时有事。
