用to toy with表达“玩弄感情”

短语to toy with某人或某事表示对一个人的感情不认真、不看重，说得重一些就是玩弄感情。

• Peter has been going out with Mary for five years and he never talks about marriage. He is just toying with her feelings.
• I have been working hard to get that promotion but it never comes. My boss is toying with my expectations.

值得注意的是，所谓toyboy“玩具男孩”专指年纪比另一半小得多的小情郎。

• Janet got divorced after 40 years of marriage and is enjoying her life with a toyboy on her arm.
