又到月初了，对于我们这些靠业绩来决定挣多挣少的人来说是个特别难熬的日子，因为马上就要宣布上个月的业绩排名了......外教Tony甭看外表是个冷静的主儿，其实心里跟大家一样都倍儿紧张呢，我看到他拿着咖啡杯的手都在微微地颤抖着。等宣布完了之后，Tony 终于长出了一口气，说了一句：
“I was supposed to be relax, but soon I began to got very restless in a moment.”
想必大家也经常会遇到这种情况吧，得嘞，今天就来说一下这种“不淡定”是如何用英语来表达的，有一个短语非常适合，就是“grow/get restless”, 它表示一个人"心神不定、焦躁不安"时的那种忐忑与浮躁，所以刚才老外是在说“我本来还是挺放松的，但很快，我立马儿开始忐忑不安起来。”
