My ears are burning.

If people say "my ears were burning," it

means someone was talking about them, but that they weren't there to hear it. Imagine a message being sent to you when people are talking about you.
如果有人说“my ears were burning”,意思就是说有人在讨论他们,但是他们并没有当场听到。想象一下当有人议论你会收到一条信息。

This comes from Ancient Rome, when people believed "burning ears" and other sensations signaled current or future events.
这种说法来源于古罗马,人们相信“燃烧的耳朵”和其他感觉表明现在或未来可能发生的事情。

If it was in the right ear, the person was praised. The left ear meant evil may come.
如果是右耳(发烫),这个人会被称赞。如果是左耳意味着不好的事情可能发生。
