手忙脚乱怎么翻译

手忙脚乱怎么翻译

make rather heavy weather of it

例如：
保罗说上司被计算机问题弄得手忙脚乱：He was making rather heavy weather of it。这句英文的弦外之音，是那问题其实并不复杂。Heavy weather是‘阴沉的恶劣天气’。也许是因为航海最怕遇上恶劣天气，to make heavy weather of something有‘视为畏途’含义，现在一般解作‘难以应付（某些不困难的事）’或‘小题大作’，例如：(1) As I was only beginning to learn English, I made very heavy weather of a very simple comprehension exercise（我当时初学英文时，做一个很简单的理解练习，也觉得很困难）。(2) He made heavy weather of repairing the roof, but it took him no more than three hours when he finally attended to the job（他把修理屋顶当作天大难事，后来真正着手工作，却只花了三小时）。
