'Be up to your eyes/eyeballs in sth' = you are emphasizing that you have a lot of it to deal with, and often that you are very busy -> nghĩa là rất bận rộn, quá nhiều việc để làm/phải giải quyết; 'ngập ngụa' (trong).
Ví dụ
One of the things I love about Lafferty (besides his complete wackiness) is, as opposed to C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, you can be up to your eyes in Christian allegory (phúng dụ, lời nói bóng, chuyện ngụ ngôn, biểu tượng) or symbolism and not know it. You are not slapped across the jowls (hàm, má, cằm) with it.
You must be at least a strong intermediate to ski here—Rockies and rookies are not a good mixture—beeause this snow is different. The powder is so deep you're often up to your eyeballs in it, so deep that snorkels are common, if not routine, equipment.
Indeed, you may want to talk to your creditors as an alternative to bankruptcy when you're up to your eyes in bills. And it's not always necessary to consult a lawyer. If the problem seems to be that you've accumulated (tích lũy, chất đống) too much credit-card debt, for example, talk to the bankers who issued you the cards. They may be able to suggest a payment schedule to get you out from under a mountain of debt (núi nợ). Or visit a nonprofit credit-counseling service.
When you are up to your eyeballs in diapers and dishes, in homework and housework, sometimes you forget to peer over the piles and notice that man you married--the one quietly standing there, blending unassumingly (khiêm tốn, không kể công, không tự phụ) into the background.
