a race against time / at the crack of dawn / eons ago / the moment of truth
a race against time(the clock): 시간과의 싸움
a situation in which something must be done hurriedly, before a deadline
race against time : 서두르다
do it as fast you can cuz you do not have much time
ex. It's a race against time, and every second counts.
그건 시간을 다투는 일이며, 매시 매초가 중요합니다.
In variety ways, I may be in a personal race against time.
다방면으로 전 개인적으로 시간과의 싸움을 하고 있을 것입니다.
In a race against the clock, I took his motorcycle to the airport and gave the paper to my client in the end.
한시라도 빨리 전하려고, 전 그의 오토바이를 타고 공항으로 갔으며, 결국엔 제 고객에게 그 서류를 전달드렸죠.
As soon as a new product line in Apple was released, hundreds of people raced against the clock from this early morning to get it in front of the stores.
애플에서 신제품이 출시되자마자, 수백명의 사람들이 그 매장 앞에서 그것을 얻으려고 이른 아침부터 시간과의 싸움을 했죠.
at the crack of dawn : 동이 트기 무섭게, 새벽에
very early in the morning
ex. I get up at the crack of dawn to go to work.
저는 새벽같이 일어나서 출근합니다.
What has got you up at the crack of dawn?
무슨 일로 동이 틀 때까지 자지 않고 일어나 있는 거니?
She's got you getting up at the crack of dawn.
그녀가 당신을 꼭두새벽에 일어나게 했군요.
eons ago : 매우 오래 전에
ages ago : 옛날 옛적에
ages, a long time ago
ex. Coal is solar energy that was stored eons ago.
석탄은 매우 오래전에 저장된 태양에너지다.
This should have been a law put into practice eons ago.
이것은 오래전에 법에 제정되어야 했다.
Detailed had vanished eons ago, but something still remained to tantalize imagination.
시시콜콜한 것들은 오래 전에 사라졌지만, 상상력에 흥미를 돋구는 무언가는 여전히 남아있었다.
It seems as thought we moved here ages ago.
여기로 이사 온 것이 먼 옛날처럼 느껴진다.
But that was ages ago, dear.
하지만 그건 오래 전이었어, 얘야.
the moment of truth : 진실을 밝힐(진실이 드러나는) 순간
a time when sb/sth is tested, or when important decisions are made
ex. I've been waiting for my letter from Yale, and it's finally the moment of truth.
예일에서 편지오길 기다리고 있었는데, 이제 올 것이 왔죠.
The moment of truth is upon us.
진실의 순간이 저희에게 곧 다가올 것입니다.
I reckon this is the moment of truth when we must let the people know exactly what is happening.
사람들에게 어떤일이 일어나고 있는지 진실을 정확히 알려야 할 때라고 생각합니다.
