up in the air 某件事还没有确定

某个计划还没有确定 - the plan is still up in the air

他们对某件事没有办法作出决定 - their decision is still up in the air

例句：I wish I could tell you where I'll be in six months time, but I don't even know. I'm not sure if I will have the same job. I'm not even sure if my girlfriend will be able to stay in this country. Everything is so up in the air.

我希望能告诉你六个月后我在哪里，可是我自己也不知道。我不知道我是否会作这同样的工作，我甚至都不知道我女朋友是否能留在这个国家。一切都无法确定。

full of hot air  废话连篇，或吹牛

例句：Don't worry about what Mr. Humphrey says. He just likes to scare people. It makes him feel important, but he's just full of hot air.

别把Humphrey先生讲的话放在心上。他就是喜欢吓唬人，这样会让他觉得自己很重要，其实他是空话连篇。

例句：I'm sick of all the empty promises! The politicians have been telling us for years that they are going to create a new and improved healthcare system, but they never do a thing. 'We have a plan for the greatest blah blah blah!' It's just a lot of hot air!

这位选民说：我对他们的空头支票厌恶透了。这些政客多年来一直对我们说，他们要建立一个新的，更好的保健制度，可是他们从来没有采取过任何行动。他们说会，‘我们的计划将创造最伟大的什么什么的，’可这些都是空话

Cross that bridge when one comes to it

字面的意思是“到了桥边再过桥”，其实就是指“等事情发生了再应对”，“船到桥头自然直”。

例句：Carrie is determined to move to New York City next fall. At the moment, she doesn't know what she's going to do for a job once she gets there. Still, she's not worried. She says that she will CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN SHE COMES TO IT. The way she figures it, she'll be able to find work after she gets settled."

Carrie下决心秋天到了就搬到纽约去住。现在，她还不知道搬过去之后要做什么工作。不过，她也不担心。她说，船到桥头自然直。等她到了纽约，一切都安顿好了，再找工作也不迟。
