1、高考资源网（） 您身边的高考专家英语翻议讲解：现在是VOA特别英语词语典故节目。今天我们的节目内容是关于我们的眼睛。在爱情方面，人们的眼睛是心灵的窗户。这就是说，从他们的眼睛可以看出他们心里在想什么。我们会讲述在同一所学校的一对男女教师的故事。这名女子对这名男子感兴趣。她使用了许多方法来吸引他的眼球(catch his eye)，或者让他注意到她。每次他看她的时候(sets eyes on)，她会试图表现的有趣一点以使他对她感兴趣。换句话说，她试图向他抛媚眼(make eyes at)或者暗送秋波(give him the eye)。让我们假设，这名男子感到非常突然(hit between t
2、he eyes)。换句话说，这名女子对他感情非常深，他希望花费一些时间在一起，更好的了解她。他邀请她出去约会。女子非常高兴，可能好几天都得意地(with stars in her eyes)走来走去，脸上洋溢着幸福的表情。她非常幸福，因为她对这名男子情有独钟(apple of her eye)，这名男子是非常特别的人。她可能告诉他，他是她唯一喜欢的是，或者“我只在乎你”(I only have eyes for you)。约会时，这对男女可能会在餐馆一起吃饭。如果这名男子非常饥饿，他可能眼睛大胃口小(eyes might be bigger than his stomach)，点了很多自己吃不
3、掉的食物。当服务员把食物送来时，看到如此多的食物，他可能非常吃惊(his eyes might pop out)。实际上，如果他吃掉所有食物，所有的目光(all eyes)都会盯着他，甚至可能会引起人们大跌眼镜(raised eyebrows)，引起人们的白眼。人们可能会不满地看着他，在用餐期间，这对男女可能会讨论很多问题。他们可能会发现很多问题看法一致(see eye to eye)，分享同样的信仰和观点。例如，他们可能同意，每一宗罪行或伤害都应该受到惩罚。他们可能还同意，欺骗别人(pull the wool over a persons eyes)是不对的，也就是说失去欺骗某人，使他相信某
4、件错误的事情。但是他们都不相信恶毒的眼光(evil eye)，也就是说一个人看你一眼就能伤害到你。第二天，在学校，女子要求她不在教室时帮忙照看(keep an eye on)一下自己的学生。老师在前排黑板上书写时可能照看学生就比较困难。为了做到这一点，老师必须“后脑勺上长着眼睛”(eyes in the back of his head)。换句话说，即使他眼睛没有看着，也知道这些孩子在做什么。英语听力原文：Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.(MUSIC)Todays program is all about
