\u00bfCu\u00e1ntas expresiones idiom\u00e1ticas en ingl\u00e9s conoces? <\/span><\/p>\n

Aprender lo b\u00e1sico de la gram\u00e1tica y el <\/span>vocabulario ingl\u00e9s<\/span><\/a> te ayudar\u00e1 a comunicarte, pero si lo que quieres es hacerlo de forma aut\u00e9ntica y fluida, a\u00f1adiendo un toque de color a tus conversaciones, es importante que conozcas la parte creativa del lenguaje. Como todos los idiomas, el ingl\u00e9s tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 lleno de expresiones coloridas, proverbios y frases hechas para cada situaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tenemos muchas expresiones sobre el tema de estar ocupado. Hoy hablaremos de una en particular que se refiere a un momento de ardua ocupaci\u00f3n: crunch time.<\/span><\/p>\n

En este caso, la palabra \u201ccrunch\u201d no adquiere su significado literal (\u201ctriturar\u201d o \u201caplastar\u201d, aunque se asemeja a este hasta cierto punto). La expresi\u00f3n \u201ccrunch time\u201d se refiere a \u201cla hora de la verdad\u201d, el momento en el que tienes que hacer m\u00e1s cosas en menos tiempo, un plazo espec\u00edfico en el cual tienes que hacer un m\u00e1ximo esfuerzo para lograr algo en poco tiempo. Por tanto, es un momento de tensi\u00f3n y estr\u00e9s y generalmente la frase se emplea en contextos de deberes tanto laborales como educacionales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lo ver\u00e1s en frases como \u201cIt was crunch time\u201d o \u201cIt\u2019s going to be crunch time\u201d. No se dice \u201cwe have crunch time\u201d o \u201cwe feel crunch time\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

En contexto<\/b><\/p>\n

Veamos algunos ejemplos de \u201ccrunch time\u201d: Cuando est\u00e1s trabajando duro en un proyecto y tienes una fecha l\u00edmite apretada, no tienes tiempo para dejarlo para despu\u00e9s, tienes que trabajar duro hasta terminar. Por ejemplo, el final del curso escolar es \u201ccrunch time\u201d para los estudiantes. Tienen que estudiar por horas o d\u00edas para pasar sus ex\u00e1menes y no hay tiempo que perder si quieren obtener una buena calificaci\u00f3n. Cuando es \u201ccrunch time\u201d no hay tiempo libre o tiempo para relajarse; es hora de trabajar.<\/span><\/p>\n
