시간에 쫓기다
"시간에 쫓기다"라고는 무슨 뜻이에요?

제가 읽은 문맥에서 "Pressed for time"이라고 생각 하는데 확인 해 주시면 감사 드릴 겁니다.

Answer

Yes, that is a good translation.

쫓다 is "to chase", and 쫓기다 "to be chased (by something)".

When you're running out of time, the deadline is approaching and you feel as if you're being chased by it since it is coming closer and closer.  Hence the 쫓기다 expression.

So either "pressed for time" or "up against time" would be a good translation.
