To look someone in the eye 这个短语的意思就是你眼睛直视他们,让他们相信你所说的话是完全真实的,即便你大概并没说实话。
例句
John looked me in the eye and told me that he loved me.
I looked at my boss1 in the eye and told him exactly what I thought.
请注意
假如英语里碰到 more to something than meets the eye 这个形容方法,意思一般是某事/某物其实另有文章。
例句
I dont like Janes new husband. He seems kind and gentle but I think theres more to him than meets the eye.
