■Idioms:

Up One’s Sleeve: concealed 藏有...想法; 心中另有高招

■e.g.

A: All right, Sara. We know that you’re planning something big for Jean-Paul’s birthday. Mind telling us just what you have up your sleeve?

A: Boy! That is something special! We kind of guessed that you had some concealed plan and were waiting for the right time to reveal it.

B: Well, I didn’t want to say anything until I was sure she could come.
