snowed under 这个短语其实和“snow 雪”并没有什么关系。在英语里，人们常用这个表达来形容“忙得不可开交”。
- I‘m sorry, I can‘t write that report for you right now – I‘m snowed under with work today.
- I‘m going to treat myself to a spa weekend. I‘ve been so snowed under lately; I need some time to relax.
值得注意的是，另一个同单词 “snow 雪”有关的短语是 snowed in，意思是“大雪封门，被困在家里”。
- Wendy rang to say that she can‘t come for dinner tonight – she‘s snowed in.
