have eyes bigger than one's stomach 眼大肚子小
英语表达“have eyes bigger than one's stomach 眼睛比胃大”和汉语俗语“眼大肚子小”的含义一样,用来形容人眼馋,看到什么都想吃下肚,却因为饭量有限,没办法吃完。我们也可以把这个说法中的“stomach 胃口”换成“belly 肚子”,意思相同。 例句 Could you help me finish these chips? I have eyes bigger than my stomach. 你能帮我吃完这些薯条吗?我眼馋肚饱,吃不下了。 My mum told me off because I had ordered three ice creams and finished only one. She said I had eyes bigger than my stomach! 我妈妈把我教训了一通,因为我点了三个冰激淋,却只吃了一个。她说我眼大肚子小! Kate has eyes bigger than her stomach – she always ends up wasting food at an all-you-can-eat buffet. 凯特眼大肚子小,她去吃自助餐时总是盛得很多,最后不得不浪费掉吃不完的食物。 |
