一次,我去参加同事 Ann 的生日宴会,由于那家饭店我从前没有去过,所以我一边开车一边找路。我对同车的同事 Jane 说:“I don't see the restaurant!”Jane回答我说:“OK, Let me keep my eyes open!”我大吃一惊,连忙问道:“What?You mean you have your eyes closed all this time?”Jane 知道我没有理解这句话的意思,忙向我解释说:“I mean I will start to pay attention!”我这才恍然大悟,原来“Keep my eyes open”是“我会留意”,而不是“双目圆睁”的意思。
