每天講解一個實用口語表達，幫你輕鬆學英語！常用的口語表達學透，才能真正提高英語口頭交流的能力。今天要和大家分享的口語表達是：against the clock.
If you do something against the clock, you do it fast in order to finish before a particular time. 也就是「趕時間，爭分奪秒」的意思。
We have to work against the clock during crunch time. Our boss said that we should finish the task before the deadline.
在關鍵時刻我們必須爭分奪秒地工作，老闆說我們必須在截止日期前完成任務。
The man was badly injured, so it was a race against the clock whether the doctor would get to the accident soon enough to save the injured man.
這就像是一場分秒必爭的比賽，看醫生能否馬上趕到事故現場挽救那個傷勢嚴重的男士。
下面我們再來看幾個和這個口語表達有關的例句：
In a race against the clock, they rushed the urgent papers to the office.
在分秒必爭的情況下，他們快速把緊急文件送到辦公室。
The emergency services were working against the clock as the tide began to rise.
開始漲潮了，緊急救援機構正在爭分奪秒地工作。
We left later than we were supposed to, so it was a race against the clock to get to the airport on time.
我們離開的時間比我們預料的要晚，所以要準時趕到機場就像是一場爭分奪秒的比賽。
另外，也有老外使用against time這個口語表達，和against the clock是一個意思。
Our team worked against time to get the project completed before midnight.
我們團隊爭分奪秒，趕在午夜前把項目完成了。
每天記住記牢一個實用口語表達，每天進步一點點。
