Como traducirían esta frase?

Question

¡Hola a todos!

Tengo una frase en español, y estaría feliz si pudieran darme la traduccion exacta en inglés.

(La situacion es: una mujer dice que ella esta de prisa cada dia cuando va al trabajo, y por eso tiene que desayunar rapido)

"yo me lo tomo todo corriendo, pues estoy pendiente de no llegar tarde al trabajo"

================================

I know that she means that she doesn't want to be late for work, but i would appreciate if someone could tell me the exact translation of the sentence (I've put it in bold).

Muchas gracias, Aviel

Given that you understand the "general" meaning of the sentence, I recommend you to use the translate tool in this site for pendiente. You will be given to two different options for estar pendiente de. Then you use the one that feels better in that context.

Please, let us know which one. I hope that helps you.

Hi RC! well, i tried it, and the best translation it gives me is "aware of", but i think it's not the most suitable.... :-( - aviel, Oct 4, 2013

I got "to keep an eye on" (atento a) and "to be waiting for" (a la espera de). Search for the word "pendiente" only. Not the whole expression. - RelaxingCup, Oct 4, 2013

Hi Relaxing. Typo - two different options. - siempre, Oct 4, 2013
