①
I'll be busy tomorrow.
I'd love to, but I'm afraid I'll be ,
busy all day long tomorrow.

have plans “有安排,有事”

"手头有很多事要做" 可以说:
“I have a lot of things to do.”
另外有一个更口语化的表达:
"have(get) one's hands full "
指非常忙,手头有很多事要做
例:
He can't help today ,
because he has his hands full.
他今天帮不了忙,
因为他手头有很多事要做。

I've got my hands full right now.

别人对你说 "I have a thing for you"
不要以为是“有东西要给你”
而是他/她对你“有好感;有点意思”
例:
He has a thing for you.
他对你有点意思。
They have a thing for each other.
他们之间有点感觉。
"It's my thing" 的意思是:
“我擅长的;我的兴趣爱好”。
例:
Painting is my thing.
画画是我擅长的事。
That's his/her thing.
那是他/她的强项。
"a whole thing" 不是“一整件事情”
而是指容易引起争议的“复杂的情况”
例:
A: I forgot to invite Penny to the wedding,
and now it's a whole thing.
我忘记邀请Penny来参加婚礼了,
现在情况变得复杂了起来。
B: Oh man. Is she mad at you?
天啊,那她生你的气了吗?
