日常口语表达:拖延时间

时间:2013-06-24 09:00:09

(单词翻译:单击)

  We should try to buy more time.
  我们要设法拖延时间。
  buy more time 字面意思是:“买更多的时间”,这个短语的正确意思是:“争取时间、拖延时间”。因此,当美国人说"We should try to buy more time."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"We should try to gain more time."、"We should try to stall for time."、"We'd better adopt a stonewalling strategy."。
  情景对话:
  Jane: What's the matter with Mike? He is about to make presentation in ten minutes, but where is he?
  简:麦克怎么回事啊,十分钟后就该他发言了,他哪儿去了啊?
  Shirley: Call him immediately. And anyway, we should try to buy more time.
  雪莉:快打电话给他,无论如何我们要设法拖延时间。
