地道表达
one’s ears are burning
1. 解词释义
One’s ears are burning.的字面意思是“某人的耳朵在发烧。”即为“耳根发热。”的意思，实际意义是“有人在谈论某人。”当我们耳根发热的时候，或怀疑有人在说自己坏话。西方人相信，如果你的耳根发热，那可能是有人在其他地方议论你或者是有人在想你。其英文解释为：something that you say to someone who is being talked about。
2 .例句拓展
e.g. All that talk about William - his ears must have been burning.
那一切都是关于William的谈论，一定是有人在议论他。
Ps：stare at的意思是“凝视，盯住”的意思。例如：
In the West people think it's rude to stare at a person.
在西方，人们认为盯着看人是不礼貌的。

You have no time to stare at yourself.

I would stare at it, feeling that it possessed¹ some vital meaning which always eluded² me.
我每每凝视着这个形象，总觉得其中寓意重大，而又百思不得其解。
Ps：with deep feelings的意思是“深情地”，它是个副词性短语。
