工作忙沒空,不能說I have no time!

按照中式思維去理解,沒時(shí)間說成have no time一點(diǎn)問題都沒有,很多人也會(huì)把“我沒時(shí)間”表達(dá)為“I have no time”。但請(qǐng)注意,在英語中,time當(dāng)“時(shí)間”講時(shí),通常作不可數(shù)名詞。

因此,在英語中,have no time的真正意思表示為"沒有多少活著的時(shí)間了",意為“我快死了”!所以當(dāng)外國人問你“Excuse me,can you do me a favor?”,你回復(fù)一句“I have no time”,那他們多半會(huì)立馬幫你Call 911了。

 

沒空

 

“沒時(shí)間”“沒空”可以這樣表達(dá):

1.I'm occupied at the moment.

我現(xiàn)在沒空。

2.I'm in a rush, talk to you later.

我真的趕時(shí)間,晚點(diǎn)再找你說。

3.You see, I'm in the middle of something.

你看,我正忙著呢。

4.I can't make it at that time.

我那個(gè)時(shí)候脫不開身啊。

5.I am tied up.

我有事走不開。

6.Sorry, I'm otherwise engaged.

對(duì)不起,我有其他安排了。

怎么用英語詢問別人“有沒有空?”

1

Do you have a minute? I want to discuss this issue with you.

你現(xiàn)在有空嗎?我想和你討論一下這個(gè)問題。

2

Are you available?

available 在此的意思是“可會(huì)見的、可與之交談的”,由此衍伸為“有空的”;沒空就是 "not available"

- Are you available? I need your help.

-Sure.

-你有空嗎?我需要你的幫忙。

-當(dāng)然可以。

3

Can you spare some time?

spare 有“抽出、勻出”的意思

-Can you spare some time to come out with me?

-Sorry, I'm afraid (I can't).

-你有空和我出去嗎?

-抱歉,我恐怕沒空。

4

When will you get around to doing sth? / When did you find time to do sth?

-When will you get around to traveling?

-Maybe next week.

-你什么時(shí)候有空去旅游?

-下星期吧。

今天的內(nèi)容都學(xué)會(huì)了么?
