In hand 正在进行中
我们可以用in hand来形容某事情正在进行、正在被受理过程中或某事即将得到处理。多数情况下我们用这个说法来告诉他人一件事情的进展情况,以让他们放心。
例句:
Have you finished that report yet? It has to be handed in on Monday.
It’s in hand, I’ve done all the research, I just need to write it up.
注意:
短语matter in hand是一个正式表达,意思是“当下正在讨论的或即将被讨论的主题或问题”。这个短语多在开会时使用。
例句:
Right, now we’ve got the introductions out of the way, let’s turn our attention to the matter at hand, the election of a new student council.
Can we please get back to the matter at hand. I know last night’s TV was fascinating, but we really need to get on.
