| [00:00.00] | Hi, I'm Chris and I'm here today with Li. |
| [00:03.32] | Hello. |
| [00:04.00] | Did you see that Superman film on television last night? I love Clark Kent. |
| [00:09.52] | By day, he's just a regular guy, but he also has the power to fly. It's a classic movie. |
| [00:15.78] | No, I didn't see it. |
| [00:18.12] | The aerial on my roof is broken and I don't really know how to fix it, |
| [00:23.05] | so I can't watch anything at the moment. |
| [00:25.87] | That's a shame. |
| [00:27.04] | If you want, I could have a look to see if I can fix it for you |
| [00:30.95] | I'd be flying by the seat of my pants, but it's worth a try. |
| [00:33.56] | You can fly? Like Superman? |
| [00:36.32] | Do you have to wear your pants on the outside like him, too? |
| [00:40.00] | No, I don't mean I can actually fly, |
| [00:42.52] | and I'm certainly not putting my underwear on over my trousers. |
| [00:46.32] | The phrase "to fly by the seat of your pants" means to do something difficult without being trained to do it or really knowing how. " |
| [00:54.02] | So I don't have to worry about actually seeing your pants? |
| [00:58.00] | No, Li, you don't have to see my pants. It’s just a phrase. |
| [01:02.73] | I see, so you'll have a go at fixing my TV aerial, even though you aren't quite sure what you're doing. |
| [01:09.83] | Exactly. Let's hear some more examples of the phrase in action. |
| [01:14.68] | This report has to be finished today but no one is here to show me how to do it. |
| [01:19.72] | I'll be flying by the seat of my pants, but I'd better try. |
| [01:24.68] | John is trying to put new tiles in the bathroom, as he won't pay for a decorator to do it. |
| [01:29.81] | He really is flying by the seat of his pants. |
| [01:33.37] | So this is a phrase that we can use when you know very little about something, |
| [01:38.91] | but you're going to do your best to complete the job. |
| [01:42.08] | People often use this phrase when they have to do a job quickly, but don't know how. |
| [01:46.79] | So, do you think you can fix my aerial? |
| [01:49.57] | Well, I'll certainly give it a try, have you got a ladder, then? |
| [01:53.42] | Sure |
| [01:58.68] | Well, there you go. I really did fly by the seat of my pants, but it looks like it's fixed. |
| [02:04.13] | Let me turn on the TV. |
| [02:07.84] | It works. Great picture.You know what, Chris, even though you don't have your pants like Superman, you really are my hero. |
