누군가에게 눈을 뗼 수 없을 때 사용하는 can't keep one's eyes off
We've been dating for two months now. ... ... I
couldn't keep my eyes off of her. Really beautiful. With Olive
skin and the bluest eyes I've ever seen in my life. ... ...
형태-
Subject + can't keep + (one's) eyes off + object
예시:
"I can't keep my eyes off that painting; it's so beautiful."
(긍정적 문맥-매력)
"He couldn't keep his eyes off his phone during the meeting."
(부정적 문맥- 방해)
예문에서 살펴봤듯이 one's 자리에는 주어에 맞는 소유격 형태를 넣어주시면
됩니다. 그리고, 긍정과 부정 모든 상황에서 사용이 가능하기에 대화의 문맥 파악이
필요하겠죠?
사람이나 무언가를 보는 것을 멈추기 어려운 경우에 사용할 수 있습니다. 그러니
긍정&부정 상황 모두 활용이 가능합니다. 긍정적인 상황에서는 사람 또는
무언가가 매력적이거나 흥미로울 때 사용할 수 있고, 위의 예시처럼 미팅을 하고
있는데 핸드폰을 계속 쳐다보고 있는 경우가 부정적이 상황에서 쓰인 것이죠.
Example: "She looked so stunning that I couldn't keep my eyes off her."
(긍정)
Example: "He couldn't keep his eyes off the strange guy at the
party." (부정)
