1 pass the time
關(guān)于pass，時間過得特別快可以說“Time passes so quickly”，而打發(fā)時間可以說pass the time。
When Paula was ill, I took her some magazines to help her pass the time.
葆拉生病時，我給她帶去一些雜志幫她消磨時間。
2 no time to lose
用這個短語催促別人，意思是“沒時間耽擱”。
Come on, there's no time to lose, we have to get home before John finds out.
趕快，沒有時間耽擱了，我們必須在約翰發(fā)現(xiàn)之前趕到家。
還可以說，time is of the essence。意思是“時間是關(guān)鍵，時間很寶貴”。
3 have time
這里的time是（可以用來做某事的）時間，理解為足夠的時間或者是額外的時間，比如：
I don't know how you find time to do all the things you do.
我不知道你是怎么抽出時間做所有這些事情的。
4 have time on your side
我們知道，have someone on your side是指有人是跟你站在同一邊的，也就是被支持的意思，所以have time on your side表示時間是跟你站在同一邊，表示（某人）有充裕的時間。也可以說time is on sb's side。另外，have time on your hands等于to have nothing to do，意思是無事可做。
5 two-time
這是動詞哦，意思是腳踏兩條船；對…不忠。

two-timer就是“對愛情不忠者，腳踏兩條船者”。
