10个与音乐相关的英文口语表达
Here are some examples of how they are used in English:
7. Call the tune – to be in a position of authority to give orders and make important decisions
“除了觉得购物商场无聊之外,基斯还觉得公共场合播放的音乐特别烦人。”

Some people say that life without music would be like life without air. Music is certainly a vital part of any culture. Music, together with language, is what distinguishes cultures and habits. So it’s only natural that idioms would be created around the theme of music。
