吉娜: 艾文他处理不来吗?
Vince: I think he\'s got too much on his plate. 文斯: 他手边有太多事要做了。 语言详解 A: Will you tell your boss I\'m interested in a job? 你会告诉你老板我有兴趣找工作吗? B: I\'ll mention it tomorrow. 我明天就提。 【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。 1) online auction 线上竞标 2) mention (v.) 提及,说到 3) manage (v.) 管理, 处理 4) handle (v.) 料理,处理。take care of...亦为“料理,处理……”的意思。
