trien27 Posted March 16, 2008 at 05:57 PM Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 at 05:57 PM 迫在眉睫 迫 = to force 在 = in; on; at 眉 = eyebrow(s) 睫 = eyelash(es) The eyebrows and eyelashes are already very close to each other: Forcing them to be any closer, would be too close. In other words, 迫在眉睫 could be used if you're very close to a deadline, and you feel like things are being forced on you because there's not enough time: it's urgently needed. xuechengfeng is correct.
