have too much on one's plate 贪多嚼不烂】


 


就算一个人的能力无穷,他的时间终究有限,若此时工作任务如排山倒海而来,难免让人怀疑他就算能一心二用,恐怕也免不了焦头烂额的下场,最后没有一样事情能做好。这种情况你就可以用Someone has too much on one's plate.来形容(某人)贪多嚼不烂。


 


A:  I think he has too much on his plate right now.


     我觉得他真的是贪多嚼不烂。


B:  I agree. He's too busy to return my calls, and we have some important business to


     finish.


   我同意。他忙到没时间回我电话,而我们还有重要的公事要敲定呢。


 


跟这个惯用词相近的还有have a lot on one's plate有很多事要忙


 


A: I know you've got a lot on your plate. But you also have to consider your health.


     我知道你有很多事要忙。但是你也该为健康着想。


B: I can't agree more.


     我完全同意。
