译词 | “你先忙”用英语怎么说？
生活中，我们可能会经常地说“你先忙”，那么，这句话用英语该如何表达呢？根据不同的情境，我们可以用以下几种表达↓
（图源：视觉中国）
1. take one's time
词典释义：
To go at one's own preferred pace; to use as much time as one needs or desires.
所以“您先忙”就可以表达为Take your time.
例句：
There’s no rush — take your time.
别着急，慢慢来。
2. You go ahead, I'll be busy...
例句：
A：Shall we go for a movie tonight?
我们今晚去看电影吧？
B：You go ahead, I'll be busy with some work.
你先去吧，我有些工作要忙。
3. I'll leave you to sth （sth就是对方正在忙的事情）
词典释义：
To allow someone to do something without one's involvement or interference; to withdraw from someone so they can do or finish something alone.
在这个表达中，"leave"的意思是“使保留，使维持某种状态”。那么，“您先忙”就可以表达为"I'll leave you to it."
例句：
Well, I'll leave you to your work.
你先忙你的工作吧。
4. let you get back to sth
词典释义：
To allow someone to resume or continue something, often a particular task or activity.
所以，“你先忙”就可以表达为"I'll let you go back to your work."或者“I'll let you go back to it.”
例句：
I'll let you get back to your housework.
你先忙你的家务吧。
那么，“您先请”用英文又该如何表达呢？有人可能会想说“you go first”，这样说在外国人听来有些刺耳，似乎是在命令，没人会领情的啦~
外国人的逻辑往往跟我们是反的，他们会用After you来表达礼貌之意，意思是"我在您后面走，您先请"。这样听上去就让人舒服多了。
After you英文释义：
used to say politely that someone can go in front of you or serve themselves with food before you.
用于让别人先走或先用饮食，您先请。
例句：
A：Would you like some coffee?
我给你倒点咖啡吧？
B：Oh no, after you.
噢，不用，你先来吧。
遇到突发情况需要先离开，跟大家抱歉说声“我先走”，别脱口而出“I go first”，英文里根本没有这种说法。
正确表达：
1. I gotta run.
我得先走了。（gotta是have got to的缩写形式）
2. I have to go.
我得走了。
3. I have to get going.
我必须得先走了。
4. I have to head out.
我现在就得动身了。
5. I've got to go.
我要走了。
表达“我（待会儿）有事”还可以说：
I have something to attend to later.
I'll have something to deal with later.
I'm a bit tied up now.
I'm in the middle of something.
I have something going on right now.
