迷你对话:
A: He is planning again.
他又在计划了。
B: Yeah. But whatever the planes are, he always has an eye to money.
是啊,但是无论计划什么,他总是以赚钱为目的。
A: That is him.
他就是这样。
地道表达:have an eye to
解词释义:have an eye to字面意思是“有只眼睛看着......”,比喻为“对......有企图”“对......目的”“着眼于......”。例如:小偷眼睛一直看着那个人的钱包,那么他的企图就是强抢包。因此,这个比喻是非常恰当的。
支持范例:
Eg. You should have an eye to spelling in these test papers.

玛丽是个唯利是图的女孩。
Eg. I have an eye to pursue further training in the program of Master of Professional Communication at University of Sydney.
