be too preoccupied to pay any attention ❍ 然而伊～这等事了，单是有趣而且烦躁，夹着恶作剧的将手只是抡，愈抡愈飞速了，那藤便拖泥带水的在地上滚，像一条给沸水烫伤了的赤练蛇。(鲁迅《故事新编》7) Too preoccupied to pay any attention,eagerly and impatiently,as if in sport,she flicked the muddy wistarica faster and faster,till it twitched on the ground like a coral snake scalded by boiling water.
