【适用场合】
这里我们主要学习一个动词短语：
pencil sb./sth. in…
pencil大家都知道是铅笔的意思，注意pen发音不要读成喷；
在这里pencil作为动词使用，意思是：用铅笔写个东西（因为是铅笔写，方便涂改，所以指这东西还没有最终敲定细节）
write something with a pencil
(It implies that the writing is not final.)

eg: This isn't a firm appointment yet, so I will just pencil it in.
这事儿还没最终定下来呢，我先用铅笔记一下吧。

在口语中它的引申义也常见：
temporarily schedule one for an appointment (that may or may not change).
临时约某个人，安排不定；
eg: I need to have a date in the system, so I'll just pencil you in for the middle of July—just change it online once you've picked a date you're happy with.
我需要在系统内输入一个日期，那我就先给你暂定成7月中旬，你有满意的日期了在网上改一下就好。

eg: They penciled us in for 2 PM. If we can't make it we have to let them know in advance.
他们把我们排在了下午2点这个时间，如果我们去不了，得提前跟他们说一下。
