B: Yes? Anything I can do for you?

A: Look! I’v been watching that man down in the street. He keeps peeping into the shop. Keep your eyes skinned for that guy, will you?

B: Ok.

好吧。

地道表達(dá)：

keep one’s eyes skinned

解詞釋義：

這是美國(guó)俚語(yǔ)，意思是“擦亮眼睛，提高警惕，謹(jǐn)慎小心，密切監(jiān)視”。與之同意短語(yǔ)還有“keep one’s eyes peered, keep one’s eyes polished”。要表示對(duì)......提高警惕，密切監(jiān)視，在短語(yǔ)的后面加上介詞for即可。

支持范例：

Eg. When you keep your eyes skinned, you will fine it to be a counterfeit eyewash.

你要是留意，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這是一種偽造的眼藥水。

Eg. Keep your eyes skinned for a campsite!

留意找個(gè)宿營(yíng)地！

Eg. A police has been keeping his eyes for the suspect's movements.

警察密切監(jiān)視嫌疑犯的活動(dòng)。

Eg. There are pickpockets around here, so keep your eyes skinned for them.

要提高警惕，這里有扒手。
