4、xtremely happy because this man is the apple of her eye, a very special person.

7、ished. That is, they firmly believe in the idea of an eye for an eye. They might also agree that it is wrong to pull the wool over a persons eyes.

9、eed to have eyes in the back of his head.

10、時候 (sets eyes on),她會試圖表現的有趣一點以使他對她感興趣。換句話說,她試圖向他拋媚眼(make eyes at)或者暗送秋波 (give him the eye)。讓我們假設,這名男子感到非常突然(hit between the eyes)。換句話說,這名女子對他感情非常深,他希望花費一些時間在一起,更好的了解她。他邀請她出去約會。女子非常高興,可能好幾天都得意地(with stars in her eyes)走來走去,臉上洋溢著幸福的表情。她非常幸福,因為她對這名男子情有獨鍾(apple of her eye),這名男子是非常特別的人。她可能告訴他,他是她唯一喜歡的是,或者
11、“我只在乎你”(I only have eyes for you)。約會時,這對男女可能會在餐館一起吃飯。如果這名男子非常飢餓,他可能眼睛大胃口小(eyes might be bigger than his stomach),點了很多自己吃不掉的食物。當服務員把食物送來時,看到如此多的食物,他可能非常吃驚(his eyes might pop out)。實際上,如果他吃掉所有食物,所有的目光(all eyes)都會盯著他,甚至可能會引起人們大跌眼鏡(raised eyebrows),引起人們的白眼。人們可能會不滿地看著他,在用餐期間,這對男女可能會討論很多問題。他們可能會發現很多問題看法一致(
12、see eye to eye),分享同樣的信仰和觀點。例如,他們可能同意,每一宗罪行或傷害都應該受到懲罰。他們可能還同意,欺騙別人(pull the wool over a persons eyes)是不對的,也就是說失去欺騙某人,使他相信某件錯誤的事情。但是他們都不相信惡毒的眼光(evil eye),也就是說一個人看你一眼就能傷害到你。第二天,在學校,女子要求她不在教室時幫忙照看(keep an eye on)一下自己的學生。老師在前排黑板上書寫時可能照看學生就比較困難。為了做到這一點,老師必須“後腦勺上長著眼睛”(eyes in the back of his head)。換句話說,即使他
13、眼睛沒有看著,也知道這些孩子在做什麼。VOA 慢速英語詞彙掌故第 12 課英語聽力原文:Now, the VOA Special English program, Words and Their Stories.(MUSIC)A persons nose is important for breathing and smelling.

14、ds her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is hard-nosed, chances are he will never pay through the nose, or pay too much money, for an object or service.It
15、is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other peoples business. They do not interfere. The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time.

16、orks very hard. This can help a worker keep his nose clean or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is that is no skin off my nose. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me.

17、orse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry.More problems can develop if a person looks down his nose at someone or something.

18、person thinks he is better than everyone else. He has his nose in the air.In school, some students thumb their nose at their teacher. They refuse to obey orders or do any work.

19、ght under your nose or easily seen.I think we have explained the nose expressions. What about ears? Well, I hope you are all ears or very interested in hearing more expressions.

20、. This means to be interested in what is happening around you and what people are thinking.If you are a good person, you will lend an ear to your friends. You will listen to them when they have a problem they need to talk about. Our last expression is to play it by ear. This has two meanings. One is
21、 to play a song on a musical instrument by remembering the tune and not by reading the music. Play it by ear also means to decide what to do at the last minute instead of making detailed plans.英語翻議講解:現在是 VOA 特別英語詞語典故節目。一個人的鼻子對於呼吸和嗅覺來說非常重要。鼻子還被用在許多流行的表達方式中。有些人能夠牽著別人的鼻子走(lead other people by the nose)
22、。例如,如果一個妻子牽著丈夫的鼻子走,她能夠讓他做任何她希望他做的事情。一些人被稱為頑固的(hard-nosed)。他們不會改變自己對任何事情的觀點或立場。如果某人很頑固,他從來不會付出比真正價值更高的錢(pay through the nose),也就是說不會為某件東西或服務付出太多錢。避免插手他人的事情(keep their nose out of)總是有好處的。他們不會干涉別人。相反的,有些人總是喜歡打聽別人的事(noses around)。這種人對別人的私事非常感興趣。他被認為愛追問(nosey)。那些鼻子對著磨刀石的人(keeps his nose to the grindstone
23、)工作非常勤奮。這可以幫助一個工人循規蹈矩(keep his nose clean),避免麻煩。一個不太尋常的表達方式是 no skin off my nose,意思是某件事情不影響我,或者與我無關。我們還說,有時一個人損人不利己(cuts off his nose to spite his face)。也就是說,因為他很生氣,做了一些愚蠢的事情,使情況更加糟糕。如果一個人對某人或某事不屑一顧(looks down his nose at),會產生很多問題。這種人的表現就好像是其他事情都不重要或沒有價值。這種人還會對他認為不夠好的東西非常不屑(turn up his nose at)。這種人認
24、為他比其他任何人都好,他非常自大(his nose in the air)。在學校,有些學生不尊重老師(thumb their nose at their teacher)。他們拒絕服從任何命令或者做任何工作。或許這些學生不知道正確的答案。我的母親經常告訴我,如果你努力學習,答案非常明顯(under your nose)。我想,我們已經講了很多關於鼻子的短語。那麼耳朵呢?我希望你們全神貫注地傾聽(all ears)更多的短語。我們可能甚至針對某事為你提出建議(put a bug in your ear)。我們還建議你注意各方面的動向(keep your ear to the ground)。意
