...will take a second 只需要—會(huì)
take a second (minute)表示只需要一會(huì)的時(shí)間。在囑咐對(duì)方“一會(huì)就好”時(shí)用成 This (it) will just take a minute 的形式。當(dāng)然,如果主語(yǔ)是人的話,就會(huì)變成“騰出一點(diǎn)時(shí)間去做某事”。
例句:
It (This) will just take a second.
—會(huì)兒就行。
It really is only going to take a minute.
說(shuō)真的,一會(huì)兒就行。
