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。

  1. “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。)
  2. “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。)
  3. “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。

“The band kept improvising through the blackout while backstage someone was improvising a speech with a phone flashlight.” (停电时乐队继续即兴演奏,后台有人用手机电筒照明即兴致辞。)
