Play by Ear

程绍强

Hey, would you like to play ping-pong with me this Saturday?

Yes, Id love to. But my mum wants me to go shopping with her.

What? You can play ping-pong by ear?

But if（如果） she goes shopping with her friend, then I can play ping-pong with you. Lets play it by ear.

什么？星彩能用耳朵打乒乓球？QQ糖真是太有想象力啦！“play by ear”的意思可不是“用耳朵玩”，而是“到时再说，见机行事”。

这个俗语原本指的是那些不会看五线谱的人在弹奏某个曲调时，只能临时凭着上一回听到的记忆来弹。后来人们就用“play by ear”来表示“见机行事”的意思了。哈哈，其实星彩是要告诉QQ糖，到时看情况才能决定是否跟她打乒乓球。
