have eyes bigger than one's stomach字面意思眼睛比胃大和漢語俗語“眼大肚子小”的含義一樣,用來形容“人眼饞,看到什么都想吃下肚,卻因為飯量有限,沒辦法吃完”,即眼高手低,人心不足吞蛇象”的意思。
【例句】
My mum told me off because I had ordered three ice creams and finished only one. She said I had eyes bigger than my stomach!
我媽媽把我教訓(xùn)了一通,因為我點了三個冰激淋,只吃完了一個。她說我人心不足吞蛇象。
You think you could eat that entire cake? I think your eyes are bigger than your stomach.
你認為自己能吃完整個蛋糕嗎?我看你是眼饞肚飽,根本吃不下。
