Scott: Why don't you break up with Rita? Paul: She's a great girl and I really care for her. Scott: But we're in college now. You can play the field and meet lots of new college girls. Paul: If it's so easy, why are you still single? Scott: Because I'm playing the field. Paul: If that's the case, you've definitely struck out way too many times.
filed 表『運動場』、『原野』。play the field原指有些賽馬的賭客會分散賭資，下注在很多匹馬上，以提昇贏錢的機會。後引申為某人同時跟很多人交往，不願意定下來，即『腳踏多條船』之意。
小雄總是腳踏多條船，昨天跟芬妮吃燭光晚餐，今天又約小琪看電影，每天周旋在眾多女生之間。別人問他為什麼不定下來，他說：
I want to play the field before finding my true love.
（我想在找到真愛之前先遊戲人間。）
與 field 相關的俚語如下：
out in left field 不合常理
left field 表棒球中的『左外野』，out in left field 指『在左外野之外』，偏離本壘很遠，即用來形容『不合常理』之意。
小雄突然決定辭掉穩定的工作，成為一名職業跳傘者，小琪不禁嘆道：
His sudden decision to quit his stable job and become a professional skydiver seemed completely out in left field to his family.
