I had learned English for 11 years, but I knew few English idioms(习语). When I went to study in America last year, I had trouble communicating with Americans at times.
One day, I asked my roommate Kevin, “Shall we play soccer tomorrow?” He answered, “Let’s play it by ear.” I was so puzzled(迷惑的). “Ears can play soccer?” I asked. He explained, “It means let’s see how things go. The weather report says tomorrow is rainy.”
Last October, I was waiting for the bus at a station. Beside me sat a young man. When he knew I was Chinese, he asked me something about the Great Wall. I told him, “The Great Wall is more than 20,000 kilometres long.” The man said, “You don’t say.” I was surprised. “There must be something wrong with him,” I thought. Later, I knew he meant “Really?”
I was once invited to my classmate’s home. His mother said to me, “Break your ice, please.” I wondered, “You didn’t give me any ice.” Later my classmate told me she meant I could make myself relaxed in their home.
From then on, I realized English idioms have special meanings. It is wrong to translate them word by word.

A. he was good at listening B. he could play soccer with his ear

(
