eye 的用法及固定搭配

eye

1.每个人有两个眼睛,但在若干习语里着重在“视”而不着重在眼睛那东西,所以用单数形式。例如:

as far as the eye can reach(在视线以内),have an eye for(有…的鉴别力),have an eye to(照看、觊觎),keep an eye on(注视、留心),with an eye to(着眼于、试图),with a...eye(…地看待),in the eye of(从…的观点看来)

下面各句里也用单数形式:

  • There was a happy look in his eye.
  • The old man fixed me with his glittering eye.
  • She came to the door and her eye peeped in.

2.He was all eyes和He was all eye都作“他很注意地看”解。第一句里的all不可改作both。He stared at us with all his eyes里的all也不可改作both。
