學英文要注意的一點是，它沒有「差不多」這回事
即使在中文裡是一字之差，英文也可能完全不同(其實中文往往也是)
像有同學要表達「急著…」，就用了英文的 urgently 這個字
但 urgently 的意思其實是「緊急地」，指某事必須馬上、快速發生，否則可能有不好的後果
比如 I need your help urgently. 是「我急需你的幫助」
也就是說你的幫助必須馬上、快速地發生，否則可能造成不好的影響
但「急著…」，意思是指無法用很多時間去做
在英文裡可以用 in a hurry (for N / to V)
或是 in a rush (for N / to V)
我們來造些句：
「緊急的」是needed to find you這件事情，而不是人了

Jenny woke up late this morning. She was in a hurry to get dressed for work.
(珍妮今天早上起晚了。她急著換衣服去上班。)
Why are you in such a rush? Do you have somewhere to be?
(你為什麼這麼趕？是急著要去哪裡嗎？)
I was in a hurry to find you. Your wife was on the phone.注意此句若改為 I needed to find you urgently. 則是說「我剛才有很緊急的事需要找你」
(我剛才急著找你。你太太打電話來。)
「緊急的」是needed to find you這件事情，而不是人了
