to play by ear
下面我們要講的一個習慣用語是: to play by ear
例句-3:"I haven't had a chance to prepare any notes so all I can do is start talking and play it by ear."
這話的意思是:“我今天沒有什么準備,所以就只好講到那兒就算那兒了!
下面一個例子是一個人在和朋友約會:
例句-4:"I am not sure if my wife wants me to go shopping with her on Sunday. If she decides to go with her sister instead, then I can play tennis with you. Let's just play it by ear."
他說:“我還不知道星期天我太太是否要我陪她去買東西。要是她決定和她姐姐一起出去,那我就能和你去打網球。我們就瞧著辦吧!”
