Grammar is a piano I play by ear. 
文法是一架我用耳朵彈的鋼琴。(X)
文法是一架我憑聆聽、不看樂譜而彈奏的鋼琴。(O)

Joan Didion: "Grammar is a piano I play by ear, since I seem to have been out of school the year the rules were mentioned. All I know about grammar is its infinite power. To shift the structure of a sentence alters the meaning of that sentence, as definitely and inflexibly as the position of a camera alters the meaning of the object photographed."
文法是靠聽來的，即使離開學校，文法的規則還是隨處可見。文法的力量在於，改變句子結構就能改變句子的意思，就像照相機拍攝的角度會改變物體的意義一樣。
