聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 1081 Play It by Ear

 
2--What does it mean? Let's find out by listening to an American English conversation.
 
1--Hey, what do you want to do this weekend?
 
2--I don't know. We could see a movie or have dinner. Why don't we play it by ear?
 
1--Sure.
 
2--"Play it by ear" means you aren't going to make a firm plan, but will decide what to do as you go along.
 
1--This idiom has a musical meaning too.
 
2--When you don't have the written music for a song, but you play the notes that you think you've heard, you " play it by ear."
 
1--So when you are in a situation where you make a plan as you go, you're " playing it by ear".

譯文：
 
1--如果你聽(tīng)美式英語(yǔ)時(shí)，你有可能會(huì)聽(tīng)到這個(gè)短語(yǔ)“Play it by ear（見(jiàn)機(jī)行事）”。
2--這是什么意思呢？讓我們一起來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)下面的對(duì)話吧。
1--嘿，你周末有什么計(jì)劃么？
2--不知道呀。我們可以看看電影、吃頓飯。到時(shí)視情況再定（play it by ear），怎么樣？1--好的。
2--“Play it by ear”的意思是你沒(méi)有一個(gè)明確的計(jì)劃，走一步看一步。
1--在音樂(lè)領(lǐng)域，這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)也有特定的含義。
2--當(dāng)你沒(méi)有一首歌的樂(lè)譜時(shí)，你是憑借聽(tīng)過(guò)的記憶來(lái)彈奏這首曲子。你是“憑借自己的耳朵（聽(tīng)過(guò)的）來(lái)彈奏”（play it by ear）。
1--所以當(dāng)你處于走一步看一步的情形時(shí)，你就是在“即興彈奏”（引申為：見(jiàn)機(jī)行事；play it by ear）。
