Feifei
大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語”。I’m Feifei.

Beth
And I’m Beth. We have an expression that means you’re busy and active. It can be positive or negative. It’s ‘on the go’.

Feifei
‘On the go’. 這個表達很形象地用 “在行動中 on the go” 來描述一個人 “特別忙碌，忙個不停”。這個 “忙” 可能是 “充實的忙碌”，但也可能是 “過於繁忙，壓力大”。

Beth
You’re always busy, Feifei, and you’re looking a bit tired if you don’t mind me saying so, but it’s no surprise because you are always on the go.

Feifei
Well, honestly, it’s quite difficult having to balance work, children, and friends. 所以，我總是在忙裡忙外，一刻也不停！I’m always on the go!

Beth
You need to take a rest! So, ‘on the go’ means busy, active and not relaxing. It usually means you’re trying to do lots of different things during the day.

Feifei
Anyway, you’re always on the go too! How do you manage it?

Beth
Well, I just came back from my holiday. I made sure I wasn’t on the go at all. I just sat and read my book all day. Let’s hear some more examples.

Examples
Calum is away for work again. He’s always on the go.

I’m usually on the go early, so it doesn’t matter what time you arrive, even if it’s before breakfast!

She’s so tired. She’s always on the go since starting her new job.

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。我們介紹瞭如何在日常生活中用 “on the go” 來形容一個人是 “特別忙的，忙個不停的”。

Beth
Now, this expression is very commonly used with adverbs of frequency, like ‘always’, ‘usually’ and ‘never’.

Feifei
“On the go” 前面通常會加上頻率副詞，比如 “always”、“usually” 和 “never”。用頻率副詞可以來說明你 “有多忙”。I’m always on the go during the week because of work, school pickups, and other activities, but at the weekends I’m usually not on the go because that’s when I try and relax.

Beth
Well, we can’t relax now. There’s lots to do. See you next time!

Feifei
Bye-bye!
