今天我们学习这个表达，叫做be someone's call；

理解成“由某个人决定”；to be ultimately left up to someone to decide；

这个其实跟be up to someone是可以完全互换的，都是一个意思。

eg: It's your call. = It's up to you.

这个事情由您决定。

eg: I don't really care what movie we see - it's your call.

我真的不太介意咱们看什么电影，你来定吧。

eg: Do we offer him the job? It's your call.

我们给他这份工作吗？你来定。

eg: I think we should use the extra money to invest in some new computer upgrades, but it's the boss's call in the end.

eg: It's up to you - do you want to go out tonight or not?

eg: I would give you permission, but it's not up to me.

我倒是想批准，但是这件事情我说了不算。
