事情好多，忙完這又開始忙那，感到時間嚴重不夠用，你是否也遭遇了“時間饑荒”?不禁大喊一聲，時間都去哪兒啦?

It’s a problem so common it may qualify as a new American epidemic: We’ve got no time. Too busy.

我們沒時間了，太忙了。這個問題相當普遍，已經成為美國新的流行現象。

Overwhelmed by work, family obligations, and the fast-paced nature of a run-ragged world, many Americans — especially working adults, parents of young children, and those with college degrees, according to polls — feel strapped for time and are leading less happy lives as a result.

我們被工作、家庭責任、以及極度疲憊的世界的快節奏性質搞的不堪重負。調查顯示，很多美國人，特別是成年職場人士、帶孩子的父母、有大學文憑的畢業生都感到時間不夠用，因此生活反而不那么快樂。

Researchers in the 1990s gave this familiar, if dreadful, feeling a name: time famine.

上世紀90年代，研究人員將這種常見但并不愉快的感觸命名為：時間饑荒。

More recently, they coined a term to describe the opposite: time affluence, that elusive feeling of being rich in time.

最近，他們又創造了一個新詞，來描述相反的，時間很充足的感觸：時間富裕。
