To play in Engpsh is to have fun, enjoy oneself, or engage in leisure activities. This phrase comes from the verb "to play," which means to engage in activities for enjoyment or leisure, rather than for work or serious purposes. Here are some example sentences in Engpsh and Chinese:
I pke to play with my friends on the weekends. (我喜欢在周末和我的朋友们玩。)

It is worth noting that the word "play" can also have other meanings, such as to perform in a play or to participate in a sport. In these cases, the context of the sentence will usually make it clear which meaning is intended. For example:
She is playing the lead role in the play. (她在剧中扮演主角。)
