1 busy 用作形容詞表示“忙,忙的”。
The farmers are very busy in autumn. 秋天農民很忙。
Are you busy now? 你現(xiàn)在忙嗎?
2 be busy in 和be busy with 均表示“忙于……”,但其后接的詞不同:
(1) be busy in+動名詞,in可省略,為be busy (in) doing sth.
We are busy (in) getting ready for the final exam. 我們都忙著準備期末考試。
She was busy looking after her little sister. 她正忙著照看小妹妹。
(2)be busy with+名詞
The students are all busy with their lessons. 學生們都在忙功課。

提示
①不可說be busy to do sth.。
She is busy studying . (正)她正忙著學習。
She is busy with her study . (正)
She is busy to study . (誤)
② busy構成的短語還有:busy over+名詞,busy oneself in/with doing (使自己忙于……)。
They are busy over the arrangement. 他們正忙著安排事宜。
He busied himself in/with answering letters. 他忙著回復信件。
