趣味短语：目光炯炯的 eagle-eyed

eagle-eyed

【英文解释】very keen sighted

【中文解释】眼里敏锐的，目光炯炯的

【短语来源】 Legend has it that the eagle has the sharpest eyesight of all birds. When its sight grows dull with age it flies up towards the sun, and, by staring at the sun, which only it can do, it burns away all the cloudiness of age. This story has been known and referred to for as long as we have written records of English, having been introduced to the Anglo-Saxons by Christian missionaries. However, eagle eye or eagle-eyed, used without reference to the legend, to mean(keeping)a sharp watch on something has only been used as an expression since the early 19th century.

传说鹰是眼睛最锐利的鸟。当它老了视力变差时，它就会飞向太阳。并且直视太阳，当然，只有鹰有这种本领。通过这种方式，它能让岁月带给它的朦胧视线重新变得清晰无比。
这个故事的历史可以追溯到英语文字记载出现之时，并由基督教传教士传入英国祖先盎格鲁撒克逊人中。
而自19世纪以来，不论是分开的eagle eye还是连起来的eagle-eyed，都是指在某件事上目光敏锐。

【有例有句】Nothing can escape our teacher's eagle eye.

任何事情都逃不过我们老师锐利的眼光。
