UNIT 2

 

THE EYES

 

RE READING

 


When English speakers talk with one another, they usually look at each other's eyes for only a few seconds at a time. They look away briefly, then they look back. If you look into an English speaker's eyes for too long a time, you might make that person feel uncomfortable or nervous.

There are times, however, when English speakers do look directly into another person's eyes for a long period of time. One reason is to show anger or to show that you are the boss. (That's why it can make people nervous.)

Another reason for looking directly at someone is to show that you are honest. If you want an English speaker to believe you, it is important to look the person in the eye. If you don't, he or she might think that you aren't telling the truth or that you are hiding something. We say that people whose eyes move from side to side are people with shifty eyes. We usually don't trust them.

A third reason for continuing to look at someone is to say "I like you." When you give someone the eye, you are trying to attract that person's attention and say that you are interested in him or her. You can do this by slightly lowering your head and looking up or to the side.

Suppose you are in school or at a party and you see someone whom you think is attractive. You might give that person the eye. If the person thinks that you are attractive, too, he or she might make eye contact with you. This means that you look into each other's eyes and smile to show you are interested in meeting.

Another way of saying "I like you" to a person you don't know is to wink at the person. You do this by quickly closing and opening one eye. Winking at someone or giving someone the eye isn't done very often. Some people find it insulting, so it can result in a lot of trouble. Of course, it can occasionally have very pleasant results!

A more common reason for winking at someone is to say "I'm joking" or "I'm not serious." Winking is often used to tell someone that a third person is the object of a joke.

We can use the expression wink at to mean "not pay attention to." We might say, for example, "The boss knew her secretary came to work late today, but she winked at it."
