「熱鍋上的螞蟻」用來形容人們心裡煩躁、焦急，坐立不安的樣子，指的是restless，unable to remain still（焦躁不安，靜不下來）。英文中也有一個古老的俗語用來形容這種緊張不安：好像熱磚上的貓（like a cat on hot bricks）。Hot bricks指的是「熱磚」，想想看，貓爬在熱磚上當然不能靜下來了。
例句：
她考駕駛執照前十分緊張不安。
She was like a cat on hot bricks before her driving test.
帕特急如熱鍋上的螞蟻，因為貝蒂搶走了她男朋友的照片給同學傳看。
Pat was like a cat on hot bricks, for Betty had snatched her boyfriend's photo to pass it around the classroom.
