to succeed in getting or doing something by persuading someone or by being clever in some way

I'll be so jealous if you manage to wangle an invitation to his house. 假如你能设法弄到一张去他家的请柬，我会非常嫉妒的。

He's only been here two months and already he's managed to wangle his way into the biggest property company in the capital. 他到这儿才两个月就已混进首都最大的地产公司了。

If I can think of some excuse to wangle my way out of going tonight I will do! 如果我能找个借口今晚不去的话，那我一定不会去！
