酷兔英语

fight the clock.



字面意思为"与钟表斗争",实际上就是指"争分夺秒"或"抢时间"。

比如:

Senior three students are fighting the clock preparing for the college entrance examines.

高三的同学在争分夺秒准备大学入学考试。

再如:

If you don't fight the clock to enrich yourself, you will surely be lagged behind soon.

如果你不抓紧时间充实自己的话,你会很快被甩在后面的。

此外,英语里还有个类似的表示法,即:work against the clock, 意思与fight the clock 近似。例如:

Workers are working against the clock in order to finish building the Subway Station before the celebration of 50th birthday of our country.

为了在我国建国50周年大庆之前完成地铁的建设任务,工人们在争分夺秒地工作。
