“很忙”用英语怎么说?

学了这么多年英语,如果只会一句“I'm busy”就说不过去了。今天就和大家讲讲该怎么地道的表达“我很忙!”

1. In the middle of something 正忙于做某事

有时候In the middle of是一个很实用的客套话,能帮你推掉一些无聊的社交邀约。而且用这个说法和美国人对话,就显得你的英语自然地道了。

例句:

I am in the middle of answering emails. Wait a moment, please.

我忙着回邮件,请等会。

2. Be tied up 忙得脱不开身;忙着做

例句:

I'm afraid I'll be tied up until 7 o'clock.

My mother is as busy as a bee.

自从她走后,他全心扑在工作上。

5. Overloaded 超负荷的

例句:

I've been working for 20 hours, I'm overloaded.

我已经工作了20个小时了,我超负荷了。

6. Have one's hands full 忙得不可开交

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。

7. Be up to one's neck

感觉都要被工作或某事淹没了,由此可见你的忙碌程度。

例句:

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

8. Hectic 忙乱的;繁忙的

例句:
