high time 已经迟了，不能再拖下去了

短语表达 high time 意思是某事需要尽快办，因为已经迟了，不能再拖下去了。

例句

I'm already 42. It's high time I sorted my pension out!

The plane's due to leave in 30 minutes. It's high time we were boarding.

It's high time we got our car serviced. It's been making that funny noise for months.

请注意

请注意在上面的例句中，语法上 high time 前面不用加冠词，后面跟的句型是一般过去时或过去进行时。

当这个短语和冠词连用时，意思会完全不一样，指非常热闹的气氛，度过精彩的时光。这个用法比较老套。

We had a high old time at Martin's party last night. You should have been there.
