Updated: 2018-01-10

对于拖延症患者来说,截止前的最后一天或几个小时真是太重要了,因为那就是决定他们能否完成任务的关键时间,这段时间被称作“第11个小时”。

The 11th Hour is used to describe the final moments of a given event, or situation where change is still a possibility. Right before a deadline. 
第11个小时用来指代某件事情的最后一刻,事态还有转机的可能。离截止时间就只差一点点。

来看下例子:

I procrastinated all night and now, in the 11th hour, I need to work my ass off to finish this report moments before it is due. 
我整个晚上都在拖延时间,现在是“第11个小时”了,我得拼命工作才能赶在截止时间前完成这份报告。
