“see which way the cat jumps”别理解成“看猫往哪边跳”，真实含义是静观其变；看看形势再说；观望形势后决定。

【例句】
We'd better wait and see which way the cat jumps before we choose which candidate to vote for.
我们最好先静观事态发展再决定投票选哪个候选人。

Let's just see which way the cat jumps before we settle on a single option.
在我们确定一个单一的选择之前，让我们先观望形势然后再决定。
