PLAY IT BY EAR
This saying has its origins in music, as “playing something by ear” means to play music without reference to the notes on a page. This sense of the phrase dates back to the 16th century, but the present use only came into being in mid-20th century America, primarily referring to sports. These days, the expression has lost this focus on sports and can be used in any context.
这句话起源于音乐,字面意思“用耳朵演奏”,意思是不看谱子上的音符演奏音乐。这个短语的意义可以追溯到十六世纪,但目前的用法形成于20世纪中叶的美国,主要用在体育上。如今,这种表达已经没有了仅限于体育上的表达,并且可以在任何语境下使用。
在不同的语境下可以理解为下面的意思
随机应变;走一步看一步;现场发挥;不用看谱;随兴所至;再说吧;再看吧;
