我要離開一會(huì)兒。
B: Yes? Anything I can do for you?
是嗎?有什么需要我?guī)兔?
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?
看!我一直在注意街上的那個(gè)人，他總是往商店里偷看，緊緊盯著那個(gè)家伙，好嗎?
B: Ok.
好吧。
地道表達(dá)：
keep one’s eyes skinned
解詞釋義：
這是美國俚語，意思是“擦亮眼睛，提高警惕，謹(jǐn)慎小心，密切監(jiān)視”。與之同意短語還有“keep one’s eyes peered, keep one’s eyes polished”。要表示對......提高警惕，密切監(jiān)視，在短語的后面加上介詞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!

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.
