英语口语练习小对话 第564期:在议论某人  

Subject：My ears are burning.,迷你对话,A: My ears are burning. Maybe the person who is scolding me is in the library, too.,有人在谈论我。或许那个人就在图书馆里。,B: But maybe somebody is missing you, right? I guess he is staring at you with deep feelings.,但是也许有人在想你哦，对吧。我才那个人正生情地看着你了。,地道表达,one’s ears are burning,1. 解释,One’s ears are burning.的字面意思是“某人的耳朵在发烧。”即为“耳根发热。”的意思，实际意义是“有人在谈论某人。”当我们耳根发热的时候，或怀疑有人在说自己坏话。西方人相信，如果你的耳根发热，那可能是有人在其他地方议论你或者是有人在想你。其英文解释为：something that you say to someone who is being talked about。,2 .例句,e.g. All that talk about William - his ears must have been burning.,那一切都是关于William的谈论，一定是有人在议论他。,Ps：stare at的意思是“凝视，盯住”的意思。例如：,In the West people think it's rude to stare at a person.,在西方，人们认为盯着看人是不礼貌的。,He would often stare at the black print for a long time.,他常常久久地盯着那些黑色的印刷字体。,You have no time to stare at yourself.,你现在没时间端详自己了。
