现在，来自美国之音学习英语的单词和它们的故事。
From above, birds must have a wonderful view of the world below. Flying over everything at such a height gives them a rare ability to see many things.
从上面看，鸟类一定可以看到下面世界的美妙景色。 在如此高的高度飞越一切，让它们拥有看到很多东西的罕见能力。
In English, we use the term “bird’s eye view” to describe a view from above as if seen by a bird in flight. It is also described as an “overall view” or “big picture view.” For example, when I start a project, I first like to get a bird’s eye view.
在英语中，我们使用术语“鸟瞰图”来描述从上方看到的视图，就像飞行中的鸟所看到的一样。 它也被描述为“整体视图”或“大局视图”。 例如，当我开始一个项目时，我首先喜欢鸟瞰。
I ask myself several important questions: What is the overall goal? Who is the main focus? What resources do I have available to me? Answers to these “big picture” questions can help me understand the scope of the project. Now, let's talk about noticing the smaller details.
我问自己几个重要的问题：总体目标是什么？ 谁是主要焦点？ 我有哪些可用资源？ 这些“大局”问题的答案可以帮助我了解项目的范围。 现在，让我们谈谈注意较小的细节。
Some birds, called raptors, are known for their extremely sharp vision.
有些鸟类被称为猛禽，以其极其敏锐的视力而闻名。
Eagles, hawks, and owls can see their prey from very far away. The Raptor Center is part of the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
老鹰、鹰和猫头鹰可以从很远的地方看到它们的猎物。 猛禽中心是明尼苏达大学兽医学院的一部分。
Its website explains why eagles, hawks, and owls see so well: “Raptors have powerful binocular vision, where both their left and right eyes can see and focus on a single object.” Eagles and hawks also have a special bone structure around their eyes that protects them from bright sunlight. Their ability to focus on faraway details in addition to other factors make them extremely effective hunters.
它的网站解释了为什么老鹰、鹰和猫头鹰的视力这么好：“猛禽拥有强大的双眼视觉，它们的左眼和右眼都可以看到并聚焦在一个物体上。” 老鹰和鹰的眼睛周围也有特殊的骨骼结构，可以保护它们免受明亮的阳光照射。 除了其他因素之外，他们还能够专注于远处的细节，这使他们成为非常有效的猎人。
In English, the keen vision of eagles and hawks describes a certain type of person. If you have an eagle eye, you have the ability to see or notice distant objects.
在英语中，鹰和鹰的敏锐视野描述了某种类型的人。 如果你有鹰眼，你就有能力看到或注意到远处的物体。
Also, you observe everything, even very small details which others might miss.
此外，您会观察一切，甚至是其他人可能会错过的非常小的细节。
On the same note, someone who is hawk-eyed watches and notices everything that happens. These types of people may even perceive things that are not clear to others. Both eagle-eyed and hawk-eyed people are observant or perceptive.
同样，鹰眼的人会观察并注意到发生的一切。 这类人甚至可能感知到别人不清楚的事情。 鹰眼和鹰眼的人都有观察力或洞察力。
A person does not have to have this ability all the time. They might use their keen vision and powers of observation only at certain times, especially times when they need to keep a close watch.
一个人不必一直拥有这种能力。 他们可能只在某些时候，尤其是需要密切监视的时候，才会运用敏锐的视野和观察力。
For example, during Christmastime, hawk-eyed children might search the sky looking for Santa Claus. These children may not be very observant during the rest of the year, but during Christmastime, they are looking for gifts.
例如，在圣诞节期间，鹰眼的孩子可能会在天空中寻找圣诞老人。 这些孩子在一年中的其他时间里可能不太善于观察，但在圣诞节期间，他们正在寻找礼物。

Hey, wait a minute. I think I see our old co-worker. Isn’t that Samantha way over there by the food and drinks? B: I don’t know. I can’t see that far.

I’m going to go say hi and grab the last hamburger while I’m there. Oh, and you should let the hosts know that they’re low on drinks. B: Wow! You’re right.
我要去打个招呼，然后去拿最后一个汉堡。 哦，你应该让主人知道他们的饮料不多了。 乙：哇！ 你说得对。
I didn’t realize you were so hawk-eyed. A: Only at parties. I start off with a bird’s eye view and then focus in on the food, drinks, and people I want to see more closely.
没想到你的眼光这么犀利。 答：只在聚会上。 我从鸟瞰开始，然后专注于食物、饮料和我想更仔细地观察的人。
See you in a few… The term “eagle eye” has been used for hundreds of years. Word experts say it was first used in writing in the mid-1500s. The Oxford English Dictionary website says the “earliest evidence for ‘eagle eye’ is from 1567, in the writing of Thomas Stapleton, a Roman Catholic theologian.” A theologian is an expert in religious thought.
几后见…… “鹰眼”一词已经使用了数百年。 文字专家表示，它在 1500 年代中期首次用于书写。 《牛津英语词典》网站称，“‘鹰眼’的最早证据来自 1567 年罗马天主教神学家托马斯·斯特普尔顿 (Thomas Stapleton) 的著作。” 神学家是宗教思想方面的专家。
