up in the air 悬而未决

(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

短语 up in the air 的意思是由于很多不定因素从而无法对某事的最终结果下论断，就像汉语里常说的“悬而未决”。

例句

The doctor told me I can't travel¹ because I need to get some vaccinations² done first. I'm not sure I’ll be able³ to go on Wednesday - it's all up in the air!

It's all up in the air right now: no one can agree⁴ on whether⁵ to sell the company⁶ or not.

请注意

另一个和单词 air 有关的短语是 clear⁷ the air，它的意思是通过对话消除误会、隔阂。

例句

My dad was⁸ really annoyed⁹ at me for forgetting his birthday. Last night we discussed¹⁰ it and cleared¹¹ the air.

I didn't know how my wife¹² felt about the situation¹³, so last night we talked for two hours and cleared the air.
