I haven't planned anything just yet, but I do have a few irons in the fire that will keep me busy across the fortnight.
我还没有计划好呢，但是我这两个星期确实有很多同时要做的事让我很忙。
Irons in the fire? What do you mean? When did you become an ironmonger?
火中的铁？什么意思？你什么时候成了铁器商了？
No, that's not what I meant!

If you have a few irons in the fire, it means that you have a few different projects or potential ideas going on at the same time.

我知道了。所以你在火中有一些烙铁因为你的两星期休假有不同的选择。
That's right - I can't wait.

So tell me, Jen, what are your irons in the fire - what are you planning?
那么告诉我，珍，你的同时要忙的事是什么，你计划做什么？
