英语如何表达“时间紧迫”？
无论你是学生党还是上班狗，一定都体验过在最后期限到来前争分夺秒地赶着完成老师或领导布置的“作业”的感受。英语里如何表达“时间紧迫”？
1. against the clock
如果你为了准时完成一项任务，一直掐着表在做，就可以用上这个短语，它的意思是“争分夺秒地”。
例：On our last project, we were working against the clock. 上一个工程，我们一直都在和时间赛跑。
2. pressed for time
Pressed我们都知道有“压迫、紧迫”的意思，pressed for time用来表示时间紧迫。
例：I am pressed for time as I have a lot of work to do. 我时间很紧，因为我有许多事要做。
3. time is ticking away
这句话很形象，当你正焦急地等待着一件事情，看到时钟滴答滴地走着，一分一秒地过去，就会更加感到时间的紧迫。
例：We need to intervene before it's too late. Time's ticking away. 趁着还不算晚，我们应该插手这件事。时间可是正一分一秒地过去。
4. cut it/things fine
这个短语可以理解为我们常说的“掐着点儿”。表示一件事情刚好在要求地时间内完成，差一点可能就要来不及，耽误了。
例：It's cutting it a bit fine to get to the station at 9:45 when the train leaves at 9:50! 火车9点50开，9点45到车站，这时间算得太紧了。
5. at the eleventh hour
这个短语出自《马太福音》， 说的是几个人给一个有钱人打工，但是不管是从一大早来一直干到夜里的，还是从夜里11点干到12点的，一天都拿同样的报酬。因此，at the eleventh hour就表示在关键时间出现，有“紧要关头，最后时刻”的意思。
例：Their plan was called off at the eleventh hour. 他们的计划在最后时刻被取消了。
6. down to the wire
这个短语源自赛马运动。wire在这里指赛马跑道的终点线。赛马要冲过终点线才能定胜负。这个短语要表达的也是一件事到了最后的关头，接近最后期限。
例：I never leave it down to the wire. 我从来不把工作拖到最后关头。

Donny在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是Yanglin要问的：月光族。
Donny: Hey 杨琳! 我们晚上要去吃饭，do you want to come along?
Yanglin: 哎，我想去！可就是。。。没钱!
Donny: Hmm? Didn't you just got a new job?
Yanglin: 别提了，我是典型的月光族。每次一发工资，缴缴房租，再跟朋友吃吃饭，再到商场买买东西...钱就不知不觉用完啦! 话说，这月光族用英语怎么说?
Donny: hmm, 月光族可以说 live from paycheck to paycheck。
Yanglin: live from paycheck to paycheck?
Donny: 对，paycheck is spelled p-a-y-c-h-e-c-k。支票。在美国，很多工资是由支票的形式发给你的。所以 live from paycheck to paycheck, 就是形容盼着下一张工资单过日子。
Yanglin: 这么说来，我可真是 live from paycheck to paycheck! 典型的月光族! 不过这个月，我去夏威夷花了好大一笔钱，所以就更没闲钱了。这种开销特别大的旅行啊什么的，用英语怎么说呢?
Donny: You can say: My vacation in Hawaii broke the bank.
YL: 我懂了，Break the bank 就是形容某件东西特别贵。比如上星期，我想买LV的包，男朋友就跟我说，We can't afford this purse, it will break the bank. 我们买不起这个包，实在太贵了。
Donny: 对! 你还可以说，this purse will max out my credit card. 也是特别贵的意思。
YL: 这个说法形象! Max out somebody's credit card, 刷爆信用卡！Did you ever max out your credit card?
Donny: Me? I would never do that! Now let's see what you've learned today!
Yanglin: 第一：月光族的生活方式叫 live from
第二，非常昂贵可以说 break the bank；第三，刷爆信用卡，叫 max out somebody's credit card.
