到時先算、慌死執輸
「唔理啦，到時先算」，英文點講好？隨口可說Let’s leave it until the time comes. 也可以有其他款式：
● Never mind. Let’s see what happens. 還看事情發展。
● We’ll deal with it when the time comes.有需要時方才處理。
但英文亦有一句適用的日常俚語：I’ll cross the bridge when I come to it. 我到了橋，就會過橋，也就是到時先算。這句話，今日更上層樓，刪了come to 的過程，直接跳去cross 一筆：
● Never mind. I’ll worry about that when I cross that bridge.
「到時先算」，帶一點處之泰然、船到橋頭自然直的姿態，相反， 「慌死執輸」就好像㷫閤閤要撲出去的畫面， 英文是fear /phobia of missing out 。
Fear 是恐懼，phobia 是恐懼症，就去到病態。這同時是一種fear of regret ，驚死因錯失某事而會後悔。
● They always fear missing out on something big. 若發生大事，他們最驚執輸。
Fear of missing out， 網上亦簡稱FOMO， 成為名詞， 主要用於形容一款compulsive 上癮似的狀態。老是不想錯失什麼，包括時時刻刻手機不離手，誓要知道任何最新消息，就是怕執輸：
The symptoms include compulsive checking for status updates and messages, for fear of missing an opportunity for social interaction.
● I was exhausted, but I had some serious FOMO so I forced myself to go to the meeting anyway. 我已累得不像話，但因慌死執輸，就仍然迫自己去了那個會議。由此推說， 網上也就出現了fomo +phobia = fomobia 這個合成字。
● Using the cell phone is fun, but please make sure you do not develop fomobiaas a result. 手機好好玩，但千萬不要上癮。
Fear of missing OUT ON something ，同時留意這句話中，兩個介詞out on 相連一起的情。Out 是接做miss out，而on 就搭去something。
英文有頗多這種用法， 像We need to come UP WITH a good idea； 先要死記用法，慢慢就融會貫通了。另有：
● Our for 企求、力謀：I’m not OUT FOR compliments. 我並非爭取讚美。
