on a clock 趕時間=somebody is running out of time to do things,口語中使用。如果你碰到he is on a clock ,那不是催促,而是指時日不多。

擴展beat the clock 趕時間(做某事),提前完成任務(wù)。


【例句】

The work went well and we beat the clock, finishing nearly two hours before the deadline.

工作進(jìn)行得很順利,結(jié)果我們提前完成了任務(wù),比最后限期前了約兩小時。


After dawdling for years, governments must race to beat the clock.

虛度多年光陰后,各國政府現(xiàn)在必須爭分奪秒。
