while you are at it

Please wash this too while you are at it.

你就手儿把这个也洗洗。

Gordon: While you are at it, teach me a new English song.

戈登：在你教我同时，也教我学唱一首英文歌吧。

Knobs you turn ( and, while we are at it, big, chunky buttons you press) are not some atavistic relic, but an ergonomic advance-albeit a nostalgic one.

你转动的旋钮（既然说到这里，还有我们现在使用的胖乎乎的大按钮）并不是什么返祖余孽，而是人体工程学的一大进步——尽管带有怀旧情怀。

You are just practicing your religion, and while you are at it, why not do some multi-tasking? You want to find the person of your dreams?

你只是在实践自己的信仰，而既然你都这么做了，那为什么不一石二鸟呢？

Could you fetch me some mustard while you are at it?

请您顺便给我拿点儿芥末.

Unless you can think of a quick and simple way to distinguish yourselves at a glance-flower in lapel? Saddle shoes? Maple leaf eyepatch?-then you are just going to have to suck it up. Americans: While you're here, why not pretend to be Canadian?

除非你能想出一种简便快速的办法，让人一眼就能看出你是加拿大人（在衣领上夹一朵花？穿马鞍鞋？戴枫叶图案的眼罩？）要不然你也就只能慢慢习惯，不再抱怨了。

On occasions when you're pressed against the wall while someone is ranting, throw the responsibility back at them by calmly asking, "So what do you intend to do about it?" In most cases, complainers don't really want a solution, nor are they looking for sympathy.

当你承受巨大压力，有人却不断唠叨时，你可以心平气和地问他：“那你打算怎么做呢”，从而把责任扔回给对方。大多时候，抱怨的人并不是真正要寻找解决问题的出路，或者寻求同情。
