輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第160期:忙得不可開交

核心句型：
I'm sorry that I have my hands full with some important documents.

非常抱歉，我要處理一些重要文件，忙得不可開交。

have one's hands full with 直譯過來就是：“使某人的雙手都滿了”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“某人忙得不可開交，焦頭爛額”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說"I'm sorry that I have my hands full with some important documents."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I feel sorry because I am so busy with some important files."、"I am sorry that I'm engaged in handling my work."。

情景對(duì)白：
Shirley: I've called you so many times. Why didn't you answer me?

雪莉：我給你打了很多次電話，為什么沒接?

Benjamin: Oh, honey, I'm sorry that I have my hands full with some important documents. Can we talk about this later?

本杰明：哦，親愛的，非常抱歉，我要處理一些重要文件，忙得不可開交。我們稍后再說好嗎?

③Excuse me? Can you spare me five minutes?
