“不用急”用英语怎么说?

·1. (There’s) no rush.·

我们之前看过rush /rʌʃ/ 作为动词的用法,它可以用作名词(用作单数名词或者不可数),表示a situation in which you are in a hurry and need to do things quickly,着急,紧急,需要快速做事情。

常用搭配:

▶ There's no rush.

类似固定表达,used to tell someone that they do not have to do something quickly or soon,用来告诉别人这件事情不着急,可以慢慢做,等于中文的“没事,不急”,口语里经常省略说成No rush,同义表达还有There's no hurry.

A: Do you need the book back soon? I can return it tomorrow.

这本书你急着要吗?我可以明天还你。

B: No rush, just whenever you're done with it.

不急,你什么时候看完再还。

A: Do you need these files right away?

这些文件你急着要吗?

B: No. The deadline is next month, so there's really no rush.

不,截止日期是下个月,一点都不急。

▶ What's the rush?

急什么呢?

例:You're packing for a trip that's two months away. What's the rush?

两个月后的行程你现在就开始打包东西。急什么呢?

A: Come on, hurry up! We need to go!

快点,快点!我们得走了!

B: But we still have an hour. What's the rush?

还有一个小时。急什么?

▶ do sth in a rush

时间紧所以快速做了某事

例:I left in a rush this morning and I forgot my phone at home.

我今天早上走得匆忙,手机忘在家里了。

例:I did my homework in a rush last night, so I made a lot of mistakes.

我昨晚才补的作业,所以做错了很多。

▶ be in a rush (to do sth)

急着要做某事,赶着去做某事

例:I'm sorry, I can't talk now. I'm in a rush.

对不起,我现在不方便说话。我赶时间。

例:I was in a rush to get to work this morning, so I skipped breakfast.

今早我急着去上班,所以没吃早饭。

▶ be in no rush (to do sth)

不急着做某事

例:She's in no rush to have children. She wants to focus on her career first.

她不急着要孩子。她想先专注于事业。

例:He's in no rush to start a new job. He wants to take a break first.

他不急着开始新工作。他想先休息一段时间。

·2. Take your time.·

固定短语,表示said to mean that you can spend as much time as you need in doing something,告诉别人慢慢来,不用急,需要花多少时间就花多少时间吧。

There's no rush侧重的是事情本身不急,比如说项目时间很宽裕,而take your time是祈使句,告诉别人慢慢来,不用匆匆忙忙的,实际使用时两个短语意思很接近。

A: Sorry, the traffic is so bad. I might be late for the concert.

抱歉,路上很堵,音乐会我可能会晚到。

B: It's OK. Take your time. I'll wait near the entrance.

没关系。慢慢来。我在入口附近等你。

A: Let me get my bag. I'll be right back.

我去拿包,马上回来。

B: Take your time.

慢慢来。
