Flickserve Posted June 8, 2020 at 01:11 AM Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 at 01:11 AM "才来几天就忙着回去" The context is someone is returning to their home after a trip and only stayed for a few days. How would one translate 就忙着回去 effectively into English? The sentence comes from "Growing up with Chinese" dialogue. 小明's uncle is returning to Shanghai after a short trip to Beijing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 8, 2020 at 02:04 AM Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 at 02:04 AM Hurried back after just a few days, if the urgency needs emphasising. Or, came dashing/hurrying back after... etc might work. Scurrying maybe sounds too guilty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
