輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第158期:一時想不起來
It's on tip of my tongue.
我一時想不起來了。
on tip of one's tongue直譯過來就是：“在某人的舌頭尖上”，這個短語的正確意思是：“就在嘴邊一時想不起來”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"It's on tip of my tongue."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I can't think of it at the moment."、"I can't recall it now."。

③What is the client's name?

We both have such hectic schedules.
我們倆日程安排得都很緊。
