Improvising
“Improvising” 指没有事先完整准备而当场创作或应对:爵士乐手 improvising a solo(即兴独奏),演员 improvising lines(即兴台词),或用现有材料 improvising a meal(临时凑合一顿饭)。强调灵活与临场创造力。
- “The pianist started improvising when the sheet music blew off the stand.” (琴谱被吹落时,钢琴家开始即兴演奏。)
- “We were improvising dinner with whatever was left in the fridge.” (我们用冰箱剩料临时凑合了一顿晚饭。)
- “Good presenters are comfortable improvising when the slides fail.” (优秀演讲者在幻灯片故障时能从容即兴发挥。)
来自法语 improviser,拉丁语 improvisus(未预见的),前缀 im-(不)+ provisus(预见),与 provide 同族。
“improvis-”(即兴)+ “-ing” 表示正在进行的即兴行为;名词 improvisation 为“即兴曲/即兴表演”。
爵士、嘻哈与即兴喜剧(improv comedy)是 improvising 的核心舞台;商业语境称赞团队 improvising under pressure(压力下灵活应变)。
- 固定搭配: “improvising on” (就……即兴发挥), “improvise a solution” (临时想办法)
- 原形: improvise
- 名词: improvisation
“im(不)+ provise(预备)+ ing”:没预备就上——improvising。
