你有没有过等不及想要去旅游，或者等不及想要去吃某种美食呢？有时候你越是等不及，生活偏偏要让你继续等，那我们可以怎么用更地道的英语描述这种心情呢？我们看看今天的习语吧！

C: Hi guys. I’m Chris.
 
J: And I’m Joy. The idiom we are showing you today is: raring to go. It means being very eager, excited or anxious to go somewhere or do something. You can use it like this:
I’m raring to go. / She was raring to go. / They have been raring to go.
 
C: This idiom was first used to express a horse standing on its hind legs when it is anxious to get moving. So maybe you spoke in front of your team giving an inspirational speech to get everyone pumped about the new project. Now your whole team is raring to go. Or you see that your colleague has dressed up and got ready way before it’s time to get off work. You can ask: “You seem raring to go. What are you up to?” You can also use: raring to do something, like: I’m raring to get home after 8 hours of work. Or I’m raring to try out my new shoes. Now let’s look at an example in a conversation:

 

 
J: Hey James. I saw that you’ve just finished your training yesterday. So are you ready for the big day today?
 
C: Oh yeah, I’m totally raring to go!
 

 

J: Are you raring to get your English level higher? Follow our posts everyday and practice using them!
