当一个地方被比喻为 a hive of activity 时,要表达的意思是此处看上去非常忙碌,一片繁忙的景象。

  • La Bouqueria market is a hive of activity on a Saturday morning, with vendors selling all sorts of food and drink.
  • Welcome to the department! It's a real hive of activity, but don’t worry, you'll soon get the hang of it.
  • London was a hive of activity over the summer, with lots of tourists and spectators who came to see the Olympic games.

值得注意的是,如果一个地方人特别多,场面热热闹闹,这时可以用 buzzing 来形容此地。

  • The nightclub was packed with people last night; it was really buzzing.
