...will take a second 只需要—會
take a second (minute)表示只需要一會的時間。在囑咐對方“一會就好”時用成 This (it) will just take a minute 的形式。當然,如果主語是人的話,就會變成“騰出一點時間去做某事”。
例句:
It (This) will just take a second.
—會兒就行。
It really is only going to take a minute.
說真的,一會兒就行。
I have to take a minute to check it out.
我只好重新檢查一遍。
You want to take a minute to think again?
你愿意再想想嗎?
對話:
A: Aren't you finished in the bathroom yet?
還有人在洗手間嗎?
B: Almost. It will take a second for me to get ready.
快完了,一會兒就好了。
