广播学口语:用耳朵听 用嘴巴吃
嗨！大家好！广播学口语又准时和大家见面了。今天我们的句子又是和器官有关的：I‘ll play it by ear. 另一个则是一个秘密：I will not break my word. 欲知谜底，音乐后马上揭晓！
（音乐）
I‘ll play it by ear. 用耳朵演奏吗？这是它的原意。是说有些技艺很高超的人，他们演奏时不看乐谱，只要凭自己的记忆就可以了。这里引申为见机行事。比如在公司的会上，你没有丝毫准备就被邀请讲话，你就只好坦言：“I‘ve no time to prepare 1 for the meeting 2, so I’ll play it by ear.”（我没有事前准备，只好有什么说什么了。）
不过这样的情况用在女朋友身上比较合适。Being 3 with your girlfried，you should have the ability 4 to play it by ear. It is helpful 5 for you to have her smile.（和她在一起你应该见机行事， 以搏红颜一笑。）记住了？
（音乐）
闲话少说，接下来揭晓今天的谜底。I will not break my word. 到底是什么意思呢？别急，word在这里指我们所说的“话”。break呢，原意是打破打碎，这里可不是说我说话结结巴巴的。break one’s word 的意思是食言。所以今天的谜底就是我不会再食言了 。
以前总是先许诺, 后食言。终于把女友给惹急了，“Why do you say you will not break your word and do it again and again？Is that just off 6 the top of your head？I‘ve never thought 7 you are such 8 a person 9！”（你怎么说永不食言而一次又一次的这样做呢？随口说说吗？真不知道你是这样的人！）
可是你知道吗？To succeed 10 in the future 11, the first thing you should learn is not to break your word. You should keep your word. That’s very important 12. （想成功，首先要学会的就是不能食言。要信守诺言,这非常重要！）
