美国人平时所用的许多短语，看似普通，但有的会有特?意义，究竟是俚语、口语或俗语，没有绝对的定义。其实名称不重要，最重要的是懂得意义和用法，不是吗？ 1. to have(many) irons in the fire： to have a lot of activities going on at the same time(同时有许多事，想马上全部做完，但又不知从何开始，似乎忙得不可开交) Don't bother him because he has many irons in the fire. (?打扰他，他事情太多，忙得很！) Some people even like to have many irons in the fire. (有些人喜欢有很多事忙忙碌碌。)
