Feifei
大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语”。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'. 这个表达很形象地用 “在行动中 on the go” 来描述一个人 “特别忙碌，忙个不停”。这个 “忙” 可能是 “充实的忙碌”，但也可能是 “过于繁忙，压力大”。

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，我总是在忙里忙外，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.

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我们介绍了如何在日常生活中用 “on the go” 来形容一个人是 “特别忙的，忙个不停的”。

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

Feifei
“On the go” 前面通常会加上频率副词，比如 “always”、“usually” 和 “never”。用频率副词可以来说明你 “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!
