Play by Ear

程紹強

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“到時再說，見機行事”。

這個俗語原本指的是那些不會看五線譜的人在彈奏某個曲調時，只能臨時憑著上一回聽到的記憶來彈。后來人們就用“play by ear”來表示“見機行事”的意思了。哈哈，其實星彩是要告訴QQ糖，到時看情況才能決定是否跟她打乒乓球。
