I feast my eyes on the arts in the museum.
博物馆里的艺术品让我大饱眼福。
世界各国的诗人写了好多诗来描写人的眼睛，有的把眼睛称为"灵魂的窗户"，还有的说，人们通过眼睛所表达的语言在世界各处都是共同的。今天我们就来给大家介绍几个和眼睛有关的习惯用语。中文里有"饱尝眼福"的说法。美国英语里也有类似的习惯用语。其中之一就是to feast your eyes on。Feast的意思是：宴请，举行盛大的筵席，或使人得到享受等。宴请你的眼睛，使你的眼睛得到享受，实际上也就是"饱尝眼福"的意思。To feast your eyes on这个说法可以应用到各个方面，比如说看到美貌的女子，欣赏自然风光，观赏艺术作品等。To feast your eyes on还可以用在食品方面。我们下面来举个例子吧：I'm on diet trying to lose ten pounds, so I stopped to feast my eyes on the cakes in the bakery window, but resisted the temptation to go in and buy one to eat.我正在设法减肥，想减轻我的体重十磅。为此，我只是到那些面包房去饱饱眼福，但是尽量克制自己不进去买东西吃。"美国人很喜欢吃蛋糕、奶油、冰淇淋等甜食。但是目前人们对食品中的糖份很敏感，特别是体重超重的人，往往克制自己的食欲而避免吃蛋糕之类的甜食。偶然吃了一点还好像犯了什么错误一样。

I Can Borrow It.
At an auction held in a small town, a 200-foot length of rope was being offered for sale. One woman turned to her husband and said, "That's just
what you said you needed. Bid on it!"
"No," her husband replied. "I only need it for one day. I'll see who gets it and borrow it."
中文：
我可以借用。
在一个小镇上举行的一次拍卖中，正在出售一根200英尺长的绳子。一位
妇女转过身对丈夫说：“那正是你说过的你需要的东西。快出价吧！”
“不，”她丈夫回答，“我只需要用一天。我想看看谁把它买走，然后我
可以向他借用一下。”

"A bottom plodder by nature, a startled common snapper coaxes grace from its heavy, muscled body as it swims across a Florida pond. A saw-toothed tail and large head distinguish the reclusive Chelydra serpentine, or 'snakelike swamp thing.'"

香港迪斯尼让记者先睹为快(Hong Kong Disneyland gives reporters peek)
Hong Kong Disneyland gave journalists a sneak peek before the newest park opens to thepublic, showing off an East-meets-West mix of classic thrill rides like Space Mountain and restaurants serving Asian cuisines. The park features a trademark 一the Sleeping Beauty Castle一and a Main Street that recreates small-town America. The food is distinctly Asian, catering to the masses of tourists Disney hopes to attract from across the border in mainland China.
When the park opens Sept. 12, its eight restaurants — with 2,900 seats — will cook up all the major Chinese cuisines, like Cantonese, Shanghainese and northern noodle dishes.
Visitors also will be able to dig into Japanese sushi and tempura. A pastry shop serves Hong Kong-style barbecue puffs and pineapple buns alongside chocolate croissants and cinnamon rolls.
The food is served in Western settings, such as at Royal Banquet Hall, inspired by "Sleeping Beauty." Throughout the park, signs are in Chinese and English.
Along with popular rides like Space Mountain, the park will have a Mickey's PhilharMagic movie theater with a massive 3-D screen. The cinema will show Disney staples such as the "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," and "Beauty and the Beast" mixed in with special effects.
A long, palm tree-lined driveway leads to the park. At the front gate, there's a huge water fountain with a bronze statue of a whale spouting a stream of water on which Mickey Mouse is surfing. |

想要一匹马: Pony
“Pony”出自Kasey Chambers第三张专辑“Wayward angel”（《任性天使》）。在这张专辑里，一度走在乡村乐和摇滚乐交接点的kasey，音乐路逐渐拓宽并呈多元化趋势。专辑中，高音危危欲坠的“荆棘鸟”不见了，Kasey开始朝舒缓和流行化发展，而她对节奏、对鼓点的把握似乎也比以前沉稳许多。
“Pony”以一个小孩的视角，描绘了只有小女孩才会做的爱情梦：“拥有漂亮的‘小矮马’、生个可爱的‘小宝宝’、或摇身变为端庄贤惠的‘淑女’”——这都是女孩子托腮做白日梦时对未来的美好期盼，但无论做什么梦，都离不开最真、最痴、最纯、最可爱的梦——我那一天会不会成为你的新娘？
When I grow up I want a pony
I'm gonna ride her from dust til dawn
I'm gonna brush her mane
 |
Pony |
And feed her sugar cane
And keep her in safe from the storm
If I had a pony
I wonder could I be your girl When I grow up I want a baby
I'm gonna name it after Ralph Stanley
And I sure won't mind if it cries all night
Just as long as it looks like me If I had a baby
I wonder could I be your girl Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your girl When I grow up I want a cowboy
With dust all over his jeans
With a horse named Jack
And a ten-gallon hat
He is nice but looks so mean If you were a cowboy
I wonder could I be your girl
 |
ten-gallon hat |
Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I'll be a lady
All my rings will be made of gold
I'll put flowers in my room
I'll wear perfume
I won't listen to rock n roll
If I was a lady
I wonder could I be your girl
Yodelay he yodeloh oh
You rock my world
Yodelay he yodeloh
When I grow up I wanna be your girl
When I grow up I want a pony
When I grow up I want a baby
When I grow up I want a cowboy
When I grow up I'll be a lady
