Will: Li, what did he actually say?
Li: He said: Li, tomorrow I expect you to come in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Will: Its just an expression.
Li: What? 什么这又是一个短语? 这太让我尴尬了。
Will: Yes. If youre bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, youre full of energy and enthusiasm. The boss didnt expect you to come in looking like some kind of squirrel on its way to the Oscars.
Li: Oh. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed 意思是精神饱满的。
Will: He just wanted you to be a bit more motivated and energetic.
Li: Oh no, 我怎么才能把这大尾巴摘下来呢,我用了很多胶水才把它粘上去的。 Everyone will laugh at me, Will!
Will: Maybe. Here are some examples:
Wow, look at you, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! It looks like youre ready for action!
After the summer holidays, the children returned to school bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Li: Oh Will, what will people say when they look at my tail?
Will: Theyll probably just start feeding you nuts.
Li: 太糟糕了。
Will: Or maybe acorns.
Li: Will, help me please! Pull this tail, 快帮我把这个大尾巴拽下来呀!
