give the eye 拋媚眼，送秋波
無論是男生還是女生，只要他/她瞄準(zhǔn)了看上了另外一個(gè)她/他，他就會give the eye，那就是說，他/她在暗送秋波，在眉目傳情，在表達(dá)他/她對另一位的興趣噢~!
如：
1. Willy, don’t look now, but when you get a chance take a look at that girl sitting over there alone. I think she’s in my biology class. And, you know something - I think she’s trying to give me the eye. Maybe I ought to go over and say hello.
Willy, 你現(xiàn)在先別看。等一會有機(jī)會，你看一看那邊獨(dú)自坐著的那個(gè)女孩子。她好像是我們生物課里的一個(gè)同學(xué)。你知道嗎，我覺得她在對我暗送秋波。也許我該走過去打個(gè)招呼。
2. Oh stupid guy, I have been trying my best to give him the eye. But there is no response at all!
天呢，他真是蠢死了，我已經(jīng)盡力在向他拋媚眼了，他怎么就不給個(gè)反應(yīng)呢?!
give the once-over 非同一般地看某人
在這里，once表示“一次”;over有許多解釋，如“越過”“上面”“完了”等。而這個(gè)短語的意思就是“非同一般地看某人”，實(shí)際上與give the eye的意思是一樣的。也就是說，在運(yùn)用時(shí)，它倆完全可以換著用。再來看兩個(gè)例子：
1. When I give the once-over, she finally gave me a nice smile so I went over to tell her: "haven’t we met someplace before?" She asked me to sit down and we got acquainted and look at this, Willy - she gave me her phone number!
當(dāng)我盯著她看的時(shí)候，她終于對我笑了一笑。所以，我走過去對她說：“我們是不是以前在什么地方見過面?”她讓我坐下，我們就這樣認(rèn)識了。你看，Willy, 她把她的電話號碼都給我了。
【注】美國年輕人在想認(rèn)識一個(gè)他喜歡的女孩子的時(shí)候往往會說，我們好象以前見過面吧- 也就是：haven’t we met someplace before? 他們經(jīng)常用這句話來問對方，實(shí)際上是借了這個(gè)話題來認(rèn)識對方。
1. Hi, Toutou, look at the boy over there. He is looks awesome isn’t he? But obviously he is giving the once-over to another girl.
喂，偷偷，快看那邊的那個(gè)男生。他長得帥呆了!但是很顯然他卻在對另外一個(gè)女生暗送秋波。
size up 估量;符合要求
Size這個(gè)詞本身的意思是：尺寸。例如，一個(gè)人的腰圍有多大，胸圍有多大等。但是，size和up合在一起就成了習(xí)慣用語，意思是：當(dāng)你剛見到一個(gè)男孩，或一個(gè)姑娘的時(shí)候，你對對方是否漂亮所形成的第一個(gè)印象。
如：
1. Oh, yeah, I’m settled down all right. I married Barbara about three years ago; as soon as I met her I right away sized her up as the girl I wanted to marry. It took her three more years to agree, but we’ve been very happy and already have a daughter with more on the way, I’m sure.
噢，對，我已經(jīng)成家了。我大約三年前跟Barbara結(jié)了婚。我一見到她，我就覺得她是我理想的妻子。過了三年多，她才同意跟我結(jié)婚。我們現(xiàn)在很幸福，已經(jīng)有了一個(gè)女兒，我肯定我們還會有更多的孩子。
2. Trust me, you will size her up when you two meet. She is quite your type.
相信我吧，你倆見面之后你肯定滿意，她太符合你這一類型了!
