常用表达

In a hurry 是什么意思?为什么不能说 I'm hurry?

In a hurry 表示时间紧、正在赶忙。Hurry 明明有“赶快”的意思,为什么不能直接放在 I'm 后?In no hurry 的结构又表达另一种状态。

In a hurry 表示因为时间不多而赶忙;I'm in a hurry 就是“我赶时间”。可以急着到某处:She was in a hurry to get home。也可以匆忙做事,结果不够仔细:I wrote the email in a hurry and made a few typos。这个表达语气中性,适用于各种日常情境。

开始学习

be in a hurry; be in a hurry + to + verb; do something in a hurry; be in no hurry (to + verb)

  • She left the office in a hurry and forgot her laptop on the desk.
  • We were in a hurry to catch the last train, so we took a taxi.
  • There's no deadline, so I'm in no hurry to finish the translation.

修改原因

修改前Sorry, I can't talk now; I'm hurry.

修改后Sorry, I can't talk now; I'm in a hurry.

Hurry 可以是动词 to hurry,也可以是名词 a hurry,但不是形容词,因此不能直接说 I'm hurry。这里需要固定结构 in a hurry。I'm hurrying 也可以成立,但在这个情境中不如 I'm in a hurry 常见。原句只需补上 in a。

Cambridge Dictionary

Hurry up 是催促别人快一点:Hurry up, the film is starting。In a hurry 描述一个人正在赶忙的状态。In no hurry 则相反,表示不着急:I'm in no hurry, so take your time。
