Correcto

• 研究团队在观察到初步实验结果后便迫不及待地向学界公开了预印本，尽管完整的同行评审尚未完成。(The research team, after observing preliminary experimental results, eagerly released a preprint to the academic community even though the complete peer review had not yet been finished.)

Incorrecto

• 迫不及待 specifically implies eagerness/impatience — do not use it for reluctant or forced urgency; for being compelled by circumstances, use 不得不 or 被迫; the idiom requires a following 地 + verb: 迫不及待地做某事

Origen e historia

迫 (urgent, to press) + 不 (not) + 及 (to reach) + 待 (to wait). Literally: so urgent it cannot even reach waiting — too impatient to wait.
