單元4Idioms of the Week俗諺俚語

Eyes are bigger than one’s stomach眼睛比肚子還大?

 英解:Someone has taken more food than he or she can possibly eat.

 例句I can't finish my mealI guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach!(我吃不下了——我想我的眼睛比我的胃口還大!)

 ‧注:你是不是也跟我一樣,每次去吃到飽的餐廳,就會忍不住想要把所有的食物,都放上小小的盤子裡呢?但是,往往拿的太多,卻造成吃不下而浪費。這樣的情境正好符合英文的俗諺「眼睛大胃口小」。也意味著「貪心」喔!◇
