釋義
eager to listen; attentive;渴望去聽,全神貫注;
來源
The ear is the organ by which a person hears. So, if we figuratively say that "you are all ears," it means that at that moment you are keenly listening to whatever is being said. It&`&s as if no other part of your body mattered except your ears. This idiom is about three centuries old.
耳朵是用來聽的器官;所以如果我們象征性地說:I&`&m all ears.我全是耳朵,那么意思就是說你在全神貫注地去聽,其他的身體部位已經無關緊要了。這個成語已經有大約三個世紀的歷史。
舉例
Is there anything you&`&d like to tell me? I&`&m all ears.
你是否有什么需要跟我說的?我在聽。
Now tell me all about your adventures in Africa last summer. I&`&m all ears.
現在告訴我你在非洲的所有冒險經歷,我會洗耳恭聽。
