Better yet, I may be able to finagle something, maybe push back that appointment until she gets back to the office.
更好的是,我也许可以骗取一些东西,也许可以推迟约会, 直到她回到办公室。
TED演讲(视频版) 2019年7月合集
In the year 2000, a man finagled his way into a meeting with John Antioco, the CEO of Blockbuster, and proposed a partnership to manage Blockbuster's fledgling online business.
He basically knew right away first weekend because I was a 14 year old, supposed to be downstairs, finagling myself upstairs, trying to sell people stuff.
But as we said, some finagling by very clever lawyers persuaded the jury not that cops had colluded to set OJ up, but that there was chance that evidence had been mishandled.
Finagle's Law of Dynamic Negatives, also known as Melody's law or Finagle's corollary to Murphy's law, is usually rendered:
The term "Finagle's Law" was first used by John W. Campbell, Jr., the influential editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog). He used it frequently in his editorials for many years in the 1940s to 1960s but it never came into general usage the way Murphy's Law has.
