put the pedal to the metal

I need to hand in this assignment on Friday. So I will have to put the pedal to the metal.
這份作業我週五就得交了，所以我得全力以赴。
A: Good morning, sir. Where would you like to go?
先生，早上好，您想去哪？
B: I need to be at the airport in 30 minutes.

A: I'll do my best, but the traffic is heavy at this time of the day. It's likely to take about 40 minutes.

B: You'd better step on it, then. We don't have a second to waste.
但你最好開快點，我們連一秒鐘也不能浪費。
A: Sir, instead of taking the freeway, I can take a shortcut. I'll be able to put the pedal to the metal and get there much quicker.
先生，如果不走高速公路我可以走捷徑。我就可以把油門踩到底，到那裏就會快多了。

該做什麼就去做吧。

好的，把你的安全帶繫上，可能會有一點驚險。
