[請益] 什麼事這麼忙

在練口說的app看到一組寒暄對話
其中一句是 A 說這週很忙
B問 What made it so busy for you ?
我自己若想表達的話會說
What made you so busy 之類的
對他例句的用法有點好奇
google了一下也沒找到一樣的
不確定是不是我的想法比較台式
在此請教
謝謝

some nuances could be found in these two sentencesdepending on the contextI would say the first one is more objective likeyou're asking what are those things that've keptyou busy, which implies you didn't do anythingyourself to become busy, it's other externalfactors that contributed to the situation of "busy"While the second one subtly points out you might'vedug youself a hole in which you're now busywhich is not so polite becuz it presents a feelingof judgementBut overall both are fine, especially if you knowthe person well.line 5: didn't do anything to yourself *

What kept you busy. This expression is quite common.
