'Foul play' có nghĩa là chơi xấu, hành động gian trá.

Ví dụ
Her teacher told the class that everyone would have to take an important exam again. Apparently (hình như), she noticed (nhận thấy) that an unusual number of students had received perfect scores (điểm hoàn hảo). She believed that perhaps cheating (gian lận) took place, which resulted in so many students doing well on the test. She suspected foul play (dối trá).

Last week, she came home after work and found her house as if it had been hit by a tornado (bão lốc). At first, she was angry, thinking that her children and their friends had been reckless (thiếu thận trọng, ẩu tả). Then, she discovered that thieves had broken in and stolen jewelry, money and other valuables (đồ quý giá). And that other neighbors had reported (phúc trình) similar incidents of foul play. Thankfully, the burglars were apprehended (bị bắt giữ).
