'Cast eyes down' = to tilt one's head or gaze downward (Usually a sign of shame or to appear not to have seen someone.) -> nghĩa là cúi mặt xuống, cúi gằm mặt... (vì xấu hổ, giả vờ không thấy ai đó).
Ví dụ
In the school cafeteria, Mahilum cradled her temples and cast her eyes down to her Bible.
As McLaughlin cast her eyes down and attempted to defend herself against a man well across the line when it comes to appropriate behaviour, muted laughter was heard from her colleagues.
Dianne Alfaro sat in a pew (hàng ghế dài trong nhà thờ) in the back of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan, her head bowed during Mass on Sunday morning. She cast her eyes down as the hymn (bài thánh ca) “Jerusalem My Happy Home” swelled around her. As the words “Hosanna in the highest!” echoed in the cathedral (nhà thờ lớn), she never looked up. That is, until she finished buying a pair of black boots (đôi ủng đen) off the internet on her iPhone. “At some point, the priest during the Mass says, ‘Lift up your hearts.’ He does not say, ‘Lift up your cellphones to take pictures,’” Pope Francis said last week during a general audience at St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City, where he urged Catholics to leave their phones home.
