美国习语：目瞪口呆
<p> 美国英语里有不少成语和俗语和眼睛，就是英语里的<span word="eyes">eyes</span>这个字有关的。今天我们就来给大家介绍两个由<span word="eyes">eyes</span>这个字组成的习惯用语。</p><p> 人们在碰到突然的、出乎意料之外的事的时候往往会睁大了眼睛表示惊奇。美国人在形容这种情景时经常说: <span word="Somebodys">Somebodys</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="pop">pop</span> <span word="out">out</span>.其实，中国人在形容某人感到十分惊奇时也经常说：那个人的眼珠子都快掉出来了。这和英文里的<span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="pop">pop</span> <span word="out">out</span>很相似。现在我们来举个例子吧：</p><p> 例句-1: <span word="My">My</span> <span word="wifes">wifes</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="popped">popped</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="saw">saw</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="necklace">necklace</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="bought">bought</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="twentieth">twentieth</span> <span word="wedding">wedding</span> <span word="anniversary">anniversary</span>.</p><p> 这个人说：在我们庆祝结婚二十周年时，我给我的妻子买了一条项链。当她看到那条项链时，她眼睛睁得可大了。</p><p> 大家可能都知道，美国的离婚率是很高的，正因为如此，人们对结婚周年是很重视的，特别是逢十的结婚周年，如二十周年、三十周年等，一般当事人都要举行盛大庆祝活动。</p><p> <span word="Have">Have</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="popped">popped</span> <span word="out">out</span>还可以用在其他场合，下面就是一个例子：</p><p> 例句-2: <span word="I">I</span> <span word="hadnt">hadnt</span> <span word="seen">seen</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="niece">niece</span> <span word="since">since</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="child">child</span>, <span word="so">so</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="visited">visited</span> <span word="town">town</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="eyes">eyes</span> <span word="popped">popped</span> <span word="out">out</span> -- <span word="shes">shes</span> <span word="grown">grown</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="beautiful">beautiful</span> <span word="young">young</span> <span word="woman">woman</span>.</p><p> 这个人说：我还是在我侄女是个孩子的时候见过她。自从那时起，我一直就没有机会见到她。因此，那天她突然来这儿访问使我感到十分惊奇。她已经长大，变成一个很漂亮的年轻少女了。</p>
