喜樂美語
  1. 1v/pleɪ ˌhɑːrd tə ˈɡet/ · /pleɪ ˌhɑːd tə ˈɡet/欲擒故縱／裝高冷

    口語To act like you are not interested in someone you like, so that they become more interested in you.

    「play hard to get」字面是「演一個很難追到的角色」。當你其實喜歡對方，卻故意冷淡、慢回訊息、裝忙，希望對方反而更想接近你，就是這個用法。play 在這裡帶著「演戲、演一個角色」的味道——你不是真的不在乎，你是在表演那個樣子給對方看。常出現在約會、感情話題裡，年輕人之間最常用。
