“你看着办吧”用英语怎么说?

看着办吧

play it by ear

这句短语原是音乐用语,指某人仅凭听过的记忆就可弹奏乐曲。由此意引申出来后,"play by ear"强调事件的“即兴”成分,没有计划、依据当时情况而行事(to let things go as they may),很有“边走边看吧,走着瞧,随机应变”的味道。

例:

We can't make a decision yet. Let's just play it by ear.

我们还不能做出决定,让我们到时候看着办吧。

It's your choice/call.

上边那个短语偏向于“看着办”中的边看边干,而这个说法就侧重于“你自己说的算”,你看着办,你说怎么办就怎么办。当别人问你意见或者决定,而你没有时间决定,你就可以交给对方,让他看着办吧。

比方说

A: What should I cook for dinner tonight?

今天晚上晚饭做什么?

B: It's your call. I'm actually not that hungry.

你看着办吧。说实话我并不怎么饿。

改天吧

rain check

“改天吧”经常出现在懒人或大忙人的口中,相当于英语中的"rain check"。该短语来源于美国的棒球文化,如果球赛进行时因为大雨不得不暂停,观众可领“雨票”,或用原票存根作为“雨票”(rain check),球赛改期举行时可凭之入场。

例:

A:How about a cup of coffee?

去喝杯咖啡?

B:Rain check

改天吧。

随你吧

have it your way

To do what one wants or maintain a situation as desired. Typically used as an imperative when the speaker is irritated, often because their advice is being ignored.

按某人自己的意愿去做或维持一种状态。经常在说话者生气时使用,因为他们的建议被忽略了。

例:

Fine, have it your way—sit in the sun. But I won't be the one slathering aloe on you if you get sunburned!

算了,随你吧——坐在阳光下。但如果你被晒伤了,我不会是那个往你身上涂芦荟的人!

我都行!

I'm cool with it.

That/it is acceptable to me; I'm OK with that/it.

我能接受这个事情,我觉得没问题。

例:

Yeah, we could leave later - I'm cool with that.

是,我们可以晚点走——我没意见。
