关于pass,时间过得特别快可以说“Time passes so quickly”,而打发时间可以说pass the time。

When Paula was ill I took her some magazines to help her pass the time.

葆拉生病时,我给她带去一些杂志帮她消磨时间。

2 no time to lose

用这个短语催促别人,意思是“没时间耽搁”。

Come on there's no time to lose we have to get home before John finds out.

赶快,没有时间耽搁了,我们必须在约翰发现之前赶到家。

还可以说,time is of the essence。意思是“时间是关键,时间很宝贵”。

3 have time

这里的time是(可以用来做某事的)时间,理解为足够的时间或者是额外的时间,比如:

I don't know how you find time to do all the things you do.

我不知道你是怎么抽出时间做所有这些事情的。

4 have time on your side

我们知道,have someone on your side是指有人是跟你站在同一边的,也就是被支持的意思,所以have time on your side表示时间是跟你站在同一边,表示(某人)有充裕的时间。也可以说time is on sb's side。另外,have time on your hands等于to have nothing to do,意思是无事可做。

5 two-time

这是动词哦,意思是脚踏两条船;对…不忠。
