play a horse的意思|示意

On one occasion Colonel Rawlinson witnessed a bizarre incident: "I spent a few idle moments watching the Imperial Light Horse play cricket."

罗林森上校有一次目睹一件古怪小事：“我闲，随便看看皇家轻骑兵玩板球。”

What this means, this means as you know, you never see a bird to play with a donkey or with a horse.

也就是说，你所知道的，这意味着你永远不会看见一只鸟和一只驴或是马一起玩。

Here, the horse was already becoming the animal of prestige in many regions, though sheep, goats, and cattle could also play a vital role.

此时，尽管绵羊、山羊和牛也会发挥非常重要的作用，马已经成为许多地区人们眼中珍贵的动物。

At every moment a group of men involved themselves in uproarious horse-play.

时时有一群人闹着恶作剧，闹成一片。

Just as unfit peacocks cannot grow splendid tails, so unfit people cannot sing well, dance well (for singing and dancing go together, as it were, like a horse and carriage) or play music well.

就好比不适合生存的孔雀不能长出美丽的雀尾，不适合生存的人类也不能唱出美妙的歌曲，跳起迷人的舞蹈（唱歌跳舞就好比马和马车一样紧密结合），抑或流畅演奏。

LL: Yes, in "horse around", "horse" is used as a verb, "to horse around" means "to play or joke with someone".

噢，horse在这里是用作动词，to horse around意思是“和别人开玩笑、闹着玩儿”。
