輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第158期:一時想不起來
It's on tip of my tongue.
我一時想不起來了。
on tip of one's tongue直譯過來就是：“在某人的舌頭尖上”，這個短語的正確意思是：“就在嘴邊一時想不起來”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"It's on tip of my tongue."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I can't think of it at the moment."、"I can't recall it now."。
情景對白：
Benjamin: Where are we going to meet our client?

Shirley: Sorry, it's on tip of my tongue. Let me think for a while.

③What is the client's name?

單詞：

We both have such hectic schedules.
我們倆日程安排得都很緊。
The best way is to make an appointment with him in advance, because most westerners often keep a strict person schedule.
最好的方法是預(yù)先與他訂個約會，因為大多數(shù)西方人常常遵守一個嚴(yán)格的個人時間表。
