「急著…」的英文怎麼說?

學英文要注意的一點是,它沒有「差不多」這回事
即使在中文裡是一字之差,英文也可能完全不同(其實中文往往也是)
像有同學要表達「急著…」,就用了英文的 urgently 這個字
urgently 的意思其實是「緊急地」,指某事必須馬上、快速發生,否則可能有不好的後果
比如 I need your help urgently. 是「我急需你的幫助」
也就是說你的幫助必須馬上、快速地發生,否則可能造成不好的影響
但「急著…」,意思是指無法用很多時間去做
在英文裡可以用 in a hurry (for N / to V)
或是 in a rush (for N / to V)

我們來造些句:

Jenny woke up late this morning. She was in a hurry to get dressed for work.
(珍妮今天早上起晚了。她急著換衣服去上班。)
Why are you in such a rush? Do you have somewhere to be?
(你為什麼這麼趕?是急著要去哪裡嗎?)
I was in a hurry to find you. Your wife was on the phone.
(我剛才急著找你。你太太打電話來。)
注意此句若改為 I needed to find you urgently. 則是說「我剛才有很緊急的事需要找你」
「緊急的」是needed to find you這件事情,而不是人了

重連英語 · Rewired English

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
