蹩腳口語(yǔ)：time doesn't wait
    地道口語(yǔ)：the clock is ticking
    口語(yǔ)來(lái)源：《蒸發(fā)的摩根夫婦》
    劇情引導(dǎo)：
    摩根太太是個(gè)成功的房產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人，在給客戶推銷房子的時(shí)候被觸及傷心事，原來(lái)她很想要有個(gè)孩子，卻無(wú)奈跟老公鬧分居，于是想要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)……
    - you're pregnant? i mean, if you're planning on having a baby, this is the most magical place.
    - how many children do you have?
    - how many? let me see, i have... well, i have zero. my husband and i are separated. i know what you're thinking, the clock is ticking, right? but i'm, you know... i'm considering adoption, and you gotta stay optimistic. you know? don't get down on yourself.【臺(tái)詞翻譯】
    - 你懷孕了？如果你們想要寶寶的話，這個(gè)房子超合適的。
    - 你有多少個(gè)小孩呢？
    - 多少個(gè)??？我想想……那個(gè)……我有零個(gè)啦。我跟老公分居來(lái)著。我知道你們想的什么，時(shí)間不等人，對(duì)吧？不過(guò)……我考慮領(lǐng)養(yǎng)嘛，總得樂觀一點(diǎn)兒。別讓自己垮了。
    【口語(yǔ)講解】the clock is ticking
     tick是個(gè)象聲詞，專指鐘表走動(dòng)時(shí)候的滴答聲。說(shuō)鐘表正在滴答，就表示時(shí)間飛逝，在口語(yǔ)里面用也會(huì)有催促別人的意思哦。
