掌握地道表达:“我有事”用英语怎么说?
在日常交流中,我们时常需要用英语婉言拒绝或表达忙碌的状态。那么,“我有事”这个短语,应该如何恰如其分地翻译呢?
1. "I have things to do" vs. "I've got stuff(to do)"
中式英语中,可能会简单地直译为“I have things”,但其实更准确的表达是“I have things to do”,这是一种正式的表述方式,强调你有具体的任务需要完成。如果你想要更口语化的表达,可以使用“I've got stuff(to do)”这样的说法,听起来更自然。
例句:
- Formal: I have things to do, let's call it a day.
- Informal: I've got stuff(to do), so can't hang out today.
2. "A lot of things to do" or "Hands full"
如果你想要说“手头有很多事情要做”,可以使用“I have a lot of things to do”,或者更形象的表达是“have (get) one's hands full”,意味着非常忙碌。
例句:
- He's unavailable because he has his hands full, with tasks like shopping, school runs, and dinner preparation.
- Could we chat later? I've got my hands full right now.
3. "I have a thing for you" ≠ "东西给你"
当别人说“I have a thing for you”,这可不是指“有东西给你”,而是表示他们对你有好感或感兴趣。
例句:
- He's expressing a romantic interest: He has a thing for you.
- Their connection is mutual: They have a thing for each other.
4. "It's my thing" ≠ 属于我
"Own" 的深层含义在这里是个人专长或爱好,比如:“Painting is my thing”表示画画是你的拿手好戏。
例句:
- Your passion is painting: Painting is my thing.
- That skill or interest is their forte: That's his/her thing.
5. "A whole thing" ≠ 整个事情
这个短语指的可能是涉及复杂情况或争议的事件,比如:“I forgot to invite Penny, and now it's a whole thing”意味着这事儿变得棘手了。
例句:
- Accidentally excluding someone can escalate: I forgot to invite Penny, and now it's a whole thing.
- Unintended consequences can arise: Oh man, does that mean she's mad at you?
