【Big time】"很多", "很大", "很嚴重", "很重要".
Big time
When you see "Big time", some people may translate it as "大時間" or "大時代", in fact, the Chinese meaning of "Big time" has nothing to do with "time".
"Big time" is a very common term that can be used as an adverb, an adjective, or even a noun.
When used as an adverb, the Chinese meaning of "Big time" is "很多", "很大", "很嚴重", "很重要".
【screw up】搞砸了
As a noun, the original meaning of screw is "螺絲釘".
As a verb, it means "壓榨、用螺絲擰緊、扭曲".
But "screw up", colloquially means "搞砸了".
【screw you】去你的
"Screw" is almost synonymous with "fuck", so "screw you." is translated as "fuck you".
"screw" 跟 "fuck" 幾近同義，因此，"Screw you." 被翻成「去你的」。
