eye idioms



 Hello. I am a very interesting and intelligent man. And today, these eyes and I will be getting together to teach you some English idioms. These eyes and I, get it? These eyes and I, these eyes and I, I am so funny. Anyway, enough for that. Today, I have to do something very difficult. It's ...a baby! My boss's wife is sick, so he has to bring his baby into work. But now he is going out for lunch, so he asks me to keep an eye on the baby. In English if we want someone to look after something, or watch it closly, we say 'keep an eye on something'. To keep an eye on something. Well, here I go. And now for our next eye idiom, but first you have to stop messing around and start paying attention. You think because I am not facing you, (but?) I can't see what you are doing, But you are wrong. I've got eye in the back of my head. In English if someone knows everything that happens around them, even though they can't see it, we say 'they have eyes in the back of their head'. To have eyes in the back of your head. That's better. My boss is a little fat. He thinks eating a lot makes him a real man. Yestereday for lunch, he ordered break, soup, fish, steak, pork, potatoes, (paster?), cake and pie. But he couldn't finish at all. That's right, his eyes are bigger than his stomach. In English if someone takes too much food and can't eat at all, we say 'his eyes are bigger than his stomach'.  His eyes are bigger than his stomach. Not like me.

各位!我是一個非常風趣而且聰穎的人。今天,這些眼睛和我將教給­大家一些英語常用語。這些眼睛和我,明白嗎?哈哈,我太有趣了!­好了,夠了!今天我要做一些非常困難的事情。這是個嬰兒。我老板­的妻子病了,他只好把孩子帶到公司。現在他去吃午飯了,他讓我k­eep an eye on the baby。英語裡,如果我們想讓某人照看某事,或者密切關注某事­,我們就說keep an eye on something。現在進行下一個有關眼睛的常用語。首先你要­停止胡鬧,要集中注意力。你也許認為我們沒有面對你們,所以看不­到你們。但是你們錯了,I have got eyes in the back of my head。英語裡,如果有人對身邊的每件事都知道,甚至就算他沒­有看到它們,我們就說,he has got eyes in the back of his head。這樣好多了。我的老板有點胖,他認為多吃東西令到他可以成為一個真男人。昨天­午餐,他點了面包、湯、魚、牛排、豬肉、土豆、()、蛋糕、派。­但是他無法全部吃下去。這就對了,his eyes are bigger than his stomach。如果一個人拿了很多食物但是吃不完,我們就說 his eyes are bigger than his stomach。我就不同了。
