I saw someone running toward the subway this morning, talking on the phone — clearly in a hurry to get to work! Let’s learn how to say “in a hurry / rushing to” in Chinese.

急着 (jí zhe)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。
Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.

今天早上我出门的时候，看到楼下有一个人，
Jīntiān zǎoshang wǒ chūmén de shíhou, kàn dào lóu xià yǒu yí gè rén,This morning when I left home, I saw someone downstairs,

他一边打电话，一边跑着去地铁站。
Tā yībiān dǎ diànhuà, yībiān pǎo zhe qù dìtiě zhàn.He was talking on the phone while running toward the subway station.

看起来他很急着去上班。
Kàn qǐlái tā hěn jí zhe qù shàngbān.He looked like he was in a hurry to get to work.

我笑了笑，因为我以前也经常那样。
Wǒ xiào le xiào, yīnwèi wǒ yǐqián yě jīngcháng nà yàng.I smiled — because I used to be like that too.
