LH: 行。那我们去哪家店买呢?
L: I've been keeping an eye out for some good deals, and found a sale at a store near my house.
LH: 好吧,我们就去那儿。对了,Larry, 我听过一种说法叫"keep an eye on something." 这和keep on eye out for something有区别吗?
L: When you keep an eye on something , you pay close attention to it, usually because something negative has happened or will happen.
LH: 我明白了,keep an eye on something通常用在负面情况中。也就是说,因为怕某些不好的事情发生,所以紧盯着,特别注意着。
L: Yes. For example, one of the employees at my company has been coming to work late every day, so the boss is keeping an eye on him.
LH: 是吗?你们公司有个人上班天天迟到,所以老板已经盯上他了。这个人不就是你嘛?
L: Of course not! I haven't bought my bike yet.
LH: 买了自行车你也不能这么干啊!对了,待会儿你要骑车回家么?这天好像要下雨了。
L: Well it's dangerous to ride a bike in the rain, so we'll have to keep an eye on the weather.

LH: Larry, 你这辆新车真好看,待会儿你就骑车回家吧!
