第217期:提高紧惕, 密切监视

英语情景对话:

A: I’ll be away for a moment.
我要离开一会儿。

B: Yes? Anything I can do for you?
是吗?有什么需要我帮忙吗?

A: Look! I’v been watching that man down in the street. He keeps peeping into the shop. Keep your eyes skinned for that guy, will you?
看!我一直在注意街上的那个人,他总是往商店里偷看,紧紧盯着那个家伙,好吗?

B: Ok.

好吧。

习语:

keep one’s eyes skinned

解词释义:

这是美国俚语,意思是“擦亮眼睛,提高警惕,谨慎小心,密切监视”。与之同意短语还有“keep one’s eyes peered, keep one’s eyes polished”。要表示对......提高警惕,密切监视,在短语的后面加上介词for即可。

支持范例:

Eg. When you keep your eyes skinned, you will fine it to be a counterfeit eyewash.
你要是留意,就会发现这是一种伪造的眼药水。

Eg. Keep your eyes skinned for a campsite!
留意找个宿营地!

Eg. A police has been keeping his eyes for the suspect's movements.
警察密切监视嫌疑犯的活动。

Eg. There are pickpockets around here, so keep your eyes skinned for them.
要提高警惕,这里有扒手。
