For example, if an American boy asks his mom whats for dinner tomorrow, she may say “Ill play it by ear”, that means she doesnt have plans for dinner and she will decide (决定) later. “Play it by ear” used to mean playing music without using the sheet music (乐谱), but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music! There are many idioms in English. (1)If you learn to use them, your English will be much more vivid (生动的) and colourful. Have you ever heard the idiom “He bought the farm?” It means he died. Do you know how it became popular? It was first used in World War I. When a soldier died, the government(政府) gave his family enough money to buy a farm. In the early 1930s, people in the US often did not know when or where their next meal was. So soon as they got something in their hand that could be eaten, it would gointo their mouth.That was why people began to use the idiom “living hand to mouth” to mean “living a poor life”. And dont be angry if your English friend says this to you, “Break a leg in your game!” He is wishing you good luck! Hundreds of years ago, people believed in sprites (小妖精). （2）Sprites enjoyed causing (制造) trouble. If the sprites heard you ask for something, they would make the (3)opposite happen. Tell someone to “break a leg” and the sprites would make something good happen. Arent English idioms interesting?
