她跟我说了你的生日party。她说这是她今年参加过的最好的party。
Wow, that's why my ears were burning.
哇喔，怪不得昨天我耳朵着火了（ my ears were burning）。
If people say "my ears were burning," it means someone was talking about them, but that they weren't there to hear it.
如果有人说“我的耳朵着火了”，意思是某人正在谈论他/她，而他/她却不在谈话现场。
Imagine a message being sent to you when people are talking about you.

This comes from Ancient Rome, when people believed "burning ears" and other sensations signaled current or future events.
