🍽️ Have a lot on your plate. Full rice plate. ⁉️❓❗️ that's true.

It means a lot of ✅ doesn't mean a full rice dish. 😆

📌 used when you want to say you / others are super busy.

See often in both everyday life and working English

Example:

I can't join the trip this week. I have a lot on my plate.

> > I can't go on a trip this week. The work is overwhelming.

She has a lot on her plate with work and family.

> > She's responsible for a lot of work and family.

... Read moreสำนวน "have a lot on your plate" เป็นประโยคที่เราได้ยินบ่อยมาก ๆ ในการสื่อสารภาษาอังกฤษ โดยเฉพาะเมื่อเราต้องบอกว่าเรายุ่งมากหรือมีภารกิจที่ต้องรับผิดชอบเยอะ ๆ ส่วนตัวผมเคยใช้สำนวนนี้บ่อยมากตอนที่งานในออฟฟิศยุ่งสุด ๆ จนแทบไม่มีเวลาไปทำกิจกรรมอื่นเลย นอกจากความหมายว่ามีงานล้นมือแล้ว สำนวนนี้ยังเหมาะกับสถานการณ์ที่คนเราต้องแบ่งเวลาระหว่างงานกับเรื่องส่วนตัว เช่น ดูแลครอบครัวหรือศึกษาต่อ ช่วยให้การสื่อสารฟังดูเป็นธรรมชาติมากขึ้นครับ ภาพประกอบที่มีแมวสองตัวและแมวหน้าคอมพิวเตอร์ในบทความนี้ น่ารักและจำง่ายมาก ช่วยให้เห็นภาพความหมายที่แตกต่างระหว่างการที่ "จานข้าวเต็ม" กับ "งานล้นมือ" อย่างชัดเจน ผมว่าเป็นวิธีสอนที่ดีมากสำหรับคนที่เรียนภาษาอังกฤษด้วยตัวเองเลยครับ สำหรับใครที่อยากฝึกสำนวนนี้เพิ่มเติม แนะนำให้ลองนำไปใช้ในประโยคที่เกี่ยวกับชีวิตประจำวัน เช่น "I can’t meet up tonight, I have a lot on my plate with project deadlines." หรือ "She’s managing a lot on her plate, balancing work and kids." จะช่วยให้เราจดจำและใช้สำนวนนี้ได้คล่องขึ้นแน่นอนครับ
