[他最近幾天很囂張。][2007-03-19]

[我只能騎驢看帳本走著瞧了。][2007-03-16]
------------
這個詞彙的來源和音樂有關係。它原來指的是那些會彈鋼琴或某種樂器，但是卻不會看五線譜的人。每當他們要彈奏某個曲調時，他們只能憑著上一回聽到的記憶來彈。可是play it by ear現在已經成為日常用語了，意思是做一件事不是事先有計劃的，而是走著瞧，臨時決定，與漢語中的那句歇後語“騎驢看帳本——走著瞧”有一些相似。　　例如，你被請到某處去講話，可是又沒有時間準備。你就可以對聽眾說：
"I haven't had a chance to prepare any notes so all I can do is start talking and play it by ear."
