202204AUG “拋媚眼”用英語怎麼說？

七夕情人節總是充滿著粉紅色的泡泡。如果碰到心儀的對象，我們可以用 “眉目傳情” 暗示對方自己的心意。

“拋媚眼”用英語該怎麼說呢？

1. bat one's eyes 眉目傳情、拋媚眼

“bat” 這個單字其實有很多不同的字義。如果作為名詞，有「球棒、球拍」或是「蝙蝠」的意思。

如果作為動詞，則有「眨眼」之意。我們先來看一下劍橋辭典怎麼說。

She smiled and batted her eyes at him.

她微笑著向他眨了眨眼睛。

2. bat one's eyelashes at sb. 向某人拋媚眼、向某人眉目傳情

eyelash 是「睫毛」的意思，bat one's eyes 也可以說 bat one's eyelashes，意思是一樣的。

It's no use batting your eyelashes at me.

別對我拋媚眼，沒用。
