Play it by ear是用耳朵玩的意思吗?,那可就大错特错了。来看今天Tem给大家带来的两个新的俚语 play it by ear, up for grabs.
play it by ear
这个词汇的来源和音乐有关系.它原来指的是那些会弹钢琴或是会演奏某种乐器,但是却不会看五线谱的人.每当他们要弹奏某个乐曲的时候,他们只能凭上一次听到的记忆来弹.现在 play by ear 现在已经成了日常用语了,意思是 “做一件事不是事先有计划”,而是 “走着瞧,临时决定,见机行事”.
up for grabs
Grab 的意思是抓、抓到。up for grabs 指的是某样东西,比如货物、商品等现在还没有归属,所以想要的人都可以竞争。
