Hi Henry, I think you mean “此时 = ci3 shi2” The meaning is “at this this moment”

Am I righy?

Let me show you examples:
ci3 shi2 ,ta1 zou3 jin4 lai2 le = He comes in at this moment.

But we often speak “ci3 shi2” together with “ci3 ke4”, i.e. “ci3 shi2 ci3 ke4” which has a same meaning as “ci3 shi2”.
eg. ci3 shi2 ci3 ke4,wo fei1 chang2 nan2 guo4 = I feel very sad at this moment.
nan2 guo4= sad
fei1 chang2= very
