In other cases, I am marked wrong for translating 很 as 'very'. Why am I now marked wrong for not including 'very'?

I think because 着急 is very worried (anxious, worried, concerned, frightened mixed together) and has 同义词 or 近义词 like 发急、恐慌、慌张、焦虑、焦急、心焦、忧虑、焦心、焦躁.
If you put the stress on 很, then it means very. Otherwise it's just a placeholder. BTW, "very" now appears in the official translation
Exactly. I have the very same ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ remark about ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ (他媽的) Birdie and what its bloody team ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ doing???
Wow. Why is "we all are worried" not accepted? Whenever I'm using the italian this stupid structure comes up as a suggested solution, so why is it marked wring here?

Although zháo jí (zhao2 ji2) is the standard pronunciation, many people, including myself, also pronounce 着急 zhāo jí (zhao1 ji2).

Where are these people (and where are you) from? If you don't mind
I usually hear people saying zháo jí.

I learned it from schoolmates (in a big city) and TV programs and just think “zhao1 ji2” rhymes. :p

In primary we were threatened with a fine for wrong pronunciation sometimes (when the teacher was in a particularly bad mood perhaps!) I must not watch enough TV programs then, thanks for replying!

I remember a Chinese professor correcting me on my use of zhao2ji2 before, but not explaining how I'd used it won't. Zhao2ji2 can mean nervous, right?

It is often not easy to find synonyms across different languages. More or less they represent different concepts.
For Nervous, there are several meanings according to the dictionary:
-
anxious, worried, frightened
among these anxious will be the closest meaning. When you are desperate about getting something, knowing an outcome, or panicking in an adverse situation, that is 着急. However, if you are nervous about asking a girl for a date, you are just shy or frightened, it is not 着急. -
character of easily worried or frightened
You cannot use 着急 to describe the character of a person. -
of nerve or nervous system
Absolutely irrelevant
"Worried" is the most suitable translation of Zhao2ji2, the most common translation of "nervous" is Jin3 Zhang1 紧张.
