记住:“busybody”真不是翻译成“大忙人”

“Busybody”真不能翻译成“大忙人”,应该是“好管闲事的人”释义:a person who is too interested in what other people are doing.

例句:

①When she was a child she had regarded her mother as an interfering busybody.

当她还是个孩子的时候,她觉得母亲是个管事婆。

②He spreads rumors like it is his profession. He is really a busybody.

他到处传播流言蜚语,就好像这是他的职业一样。他真是个好事者。

说到这,那么“忙”除了"busy"用英语还能怎么表达呢?

1、Have a lot on one's plate

很忙

例句:

I just have a lot on my plate today. I’ll call you back tomorrow, ok?

我今天太忙了。我明天打给你,好不好?

2、Slammed

非常忙的

例句:

I was so slammed yesterday that I stayed at work till 11 p.m.

昨天我太忙了,以至于加班到晚上11点。

3、Right now,my hands are full!

我现在手头事情满额了!

当你大包小包的“血拼”完,连开门的手都腾不出来,这时候你的状态就是"have (got) your hands full"。由此这个词可以引申表示为 “忙得腾不出手”,为处理各种各样的事情,两只手都没闲着,可想而知有多少事情要忙。

例句:

She certainly has her hands full with four kids in the house.

家里养着四个孩子,她当然忙得团团转.

4、My hands are tied.

我抽不开空。

被占用,很忙。tie是动词系、绑的意思,被某件事情绑住了,就走不开了咯!

例句:

Please tell him my hands are tied. I'll call him later.

请告诉他我正忙,待会我会跟他联络。

其它关于“忙”的实用句子:

①I've got a lot to do, but I'm excited for the results.

我事情还没忙完,但我期待着结果。

②I don't have any time to spare, Jenny.

我一点时间也抽不出来,詹妮。

③I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I don't have much free time

恐怕我没有多少空闲时间。

④I can't help you next week, I've got too much on my plate.

我下周不能帮你了,我自己的工作一大堆。

⑤I mean, I have my hands full right now with family and work.

我的意思是,现在的工作和家庭已经让我分身乏术。

⑥I am running round in circles.

我忙得团团转。

⑦What a day! I don't even have time to catch my breath.

真糟糕的一天!我甚至连喘气的功夫都没有。

⑧He was as busy as a bee trying to put the house in order.

他为了要把家里弄得整整齐齐,忙了好一阵子。

⑨I can't possibly come out tonight. I'm up to my neck in work.

今晚我不可能出来了,我的工作忙得不可开交。

⑩If you're pressed for time, don't forget to relax and take a couple minutes to breathe.

如果你很忙,也别忘了放松,花几分钟来呼吸一下新鲜空气。
